Thread: Need help deciding which pictures

My photography club is putting on an exhibition in about 2 weeks, and we are starting the printing process now. Up to three images can be submitted for this exhibition, and I've narrowed it down to 15 from well over 100, and I was wondering if I could get some help in deciding which (if any) of these pictures (link to photobucket album) are worth submitting.

It should be noted that this is absolutely an AMATEUR's exhibition, and the club has members of highly variable skill levels. Basically: it doesn't have to be mind-blowing to make it; it just has to be above average.

We'll be mounting the images as 11x14 prints on foamboard (not sure what color) and hanging them on the wall.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

i pick "the bold man and the sea" (4of14), but that's only because there were no photos with boobs in there.

i think shadowonthesun is your best one. if you need three then mrfrog and uh, moonlightdad or drshields i guess.

Kewl. Thanks for the opinions thus far, guys.

That picture is of baxter, for the record. Gotta give credit where it's due...

Fuzzball stalking the frog is very nice.

^^ Seconded

Cat and frog stands out for color, composition and subject matter.

Fourthed (fifthed?) This one if you need a second one:



I'd work on the levels a bit, however - the colors need to pop a little more and the contrast is a touch muddy. Pull down the black levels a bit and raise the chroma. (wait - this is Video, innit? )

Edit - Like this:

I'm very impressed with the cat and frog one.

cat and frog is awesome - the greens in all eyes, frog, and bg tie it together in a really cool way

Yes, catandfrog = really great

hah i didn't even see cat and frog, guess i scanned over the thumbnails too quickly and figured it was just a boring cat picture definitely submit that one instead of the other frog shot

Another vote for CatFrog; many good qualities.

1. Hungryfuzzball - for sure.
2. ShadowontheSun - maybe crop out the right 1/3 and bottom 1/3 so she isn't in the center of the shot?
3. dewflower - if you want to put in 3.

Nice pics Max... where are you guys setting up?

Eaton Humanities Lobby. November 29, Year of our Lord Two Thousand and Seven. 5 pm til 9 or so. May even be some food furnished.

Thanks for the input, guys. I'm definitely gonna go with the cat and frog. Moonlight Dad and Mr. Jefferson will probably be my other 2 pics just for diversity of subject matter (and cuz I likes 'em).

Muchas gracias. :thumbsup:

Hungry fuzzball and mr frog

hungry fuzball, mr frog, and shadowonthemtn

I vote cat and frog and the fireworks 4 ones. Great shots
