the problem with that one is for anyone who knows about Gib is that it is not a very original photograph, i personally love it but its almost a normal shot here in Gib. but if you all agree that its the best of the bunch i will enter it coz i am stuck between the 4!

Hey guys latest addition is the bay with the airport strip right beside... so please let me know which of the 5 you like best!

Whats the comp brief?? If it is just open to anything, maybe start to (insert generic phrase) "think outside the box". Look at things around you in a way you haven't looked at them before.

The lighthouse is the most pleasing image on the eye, but if like you say, it has become a cliche, why not try to look at it from an angle that others have not.

Find a spot where you can see it through a gap in a wall or creeping through blades of grass. To win a competition, you want it to grab attention and also make people think "Aw why didn't I do that"

If it's too late to re-shoot, id pick Lighthouse!

yeah i have thought of that also, but this place is a sheer drop all round except from where i shot and the road beside hence the cliche about the same shot... i would need access to a boat or a plane to shoot from a different angle! lol

Anyways... Keep em coming!

The bottom photograph of the Harbor and ships is good, a little underexposed. Did you take it late in the day? Is it true B+W or a conversion? If it is a conversion, you may be able to rework it for more contrast and better highlights. As I said before, I like the top one for the technique. I did not care as much for the entire hospital shot that you posted before, but it was interesting. I also like the lighthouse. What about a night shot of it with the spot approaching but not quite to you?
I now have to figure out how to turn off the italics that came on unexpectedly. So much for computer literacy.
Good Luck

well after some consultation here locally, i am now stuck between 1 and 5 as 3 even though it is probably the better one is not original at all and will just be 'another' photo. So what do you guys think???
