Ch 68: Buck

[erich6]

Hi everyone. Well, I've got plenty of blurry pictures but of course the challenge here is to pick "good" blur vs. "bad" blur. Go figure.

Anyway, here's a couple of my friend's dog Buck. I'm leaning towards the first one because it is more unique and has a more dynamic feel. What I like about the second one is the dog's more recognizable and the symmetry. What do you think? Or should I go back to the drawing board....

Thanks,

Erich

Oh, that is tough. I saw the one you entered before looking at both and really liked it. But that second one. Well, it is really neat. I can imagine people thinking it is too symetrical or that the dog is too centered, but it is a terrific shot. I love the way his hair swirls around the head. Both shots are great, but I think I like #2 better. In any event, I don't think you have to go back to the drawing board. Good luck!!

What do you think?

...number 2 for me...my .02 would just do a selection of the drops around the pooch and up the contrast to make the drops sparkle...fabulous shot...looks like 'is 'ead is going to screw right off...I chukeld to my self with this one...super shot!

Thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback!

Great idea on the local contrast enhancement of the water drops. Too bad I can redo it for the challenge but I'll give it a go for the sake of the image.

Cheers,

Erich
