Photo to enter in contest?

[Mo]

Hey guys,

I saw that a website is having a photo contest with a chance to win a Fuji X10.

Camera-Enthusiast.com | Facebook

I'm thinking of either one of these two photos:

let me know what you think!

What kind of contest? What are they looking for? I am in no way a landscape photographer, but the colors here seem a little flat. Maybe a contrast boost?

It's just a landscape photo contest. I think it's a public vote for the photos once everything's in. I will do that, thanks!

Take a very close look at the contest rules to be sure your not giving away all your legal rights to the photos.

I would say number one. It might be lacking in color compared to number two, but it has some nice details in the sky, which help make up for it.

Their site just opened! Here are the links to the Fuji X10 Giveaway Submissions | Camera & Photography Forum - Camera-Enthusiast.com

It looks like they reserve the right to use your photo only if you're one of the winners. If not then you still own the photo.

compositionally #1 is better, but still have some blown sky.

I like number 2. I like how you can see the buildings; #1 seems cluttered to me with the buildings being so small

Just at first glance, #1 draws my eyes - and here's why:

1. It's more "grand" - the sky and tall rocks give it such a sense of grandeur and the houses really let you know the scale of the scene, which makes it more impressive.
2. While the colors in #2 are nice, it doesn't have the context of the first photo to give it that breathtaking feeling of how small we are.
3. #1 has a sense of movement that leads the eye through the lovely clouds.

Both shots are great! It seems like a pretty fantastic location (where is it?) Good luck in the contest!
