Just wondered what people thought of these few images. I have a competition coming up and all photos have to be taken in a specific location, but don't have to be any one topic.

Any thoughts on these images would be appreciated.

How specific is the location? I feel that if it's a tight locale with a lot of entries, photos like 2 and 3 might be common. 1 looks the most interesting to me. I prefer 3 over 2.

Reasonably specific. It's a small village with a stately home and grounds. There may be the odd one of the pub, but it won't be processed like this for sure, not knowing my camera club.

Photomatix ?

Nik EFEX HDR Pro.

The first one is nice. The other two are like from some horror movie, maybe it was intended?

Thank you.

Thanks. Not sure they look "horror" - perhaps if they'd been mono. But I know that that style of processing is not for everyone.

Cheers

If I were to "judge" these three pics, these would be my thoughts. #3 is weakest. It just looks bad. It's neither fish,nor fowl. For example, the lower left corner...the way the ground just vanishes...gives the building no visual support. And the processing? Fish? Fowl? Canned SPAM? I dunno...

Shot #2...there's that awful way that "digital" handles the sun with the abrupt tone-clipping that screams "DIGITAL! Not film!"...so if there are any older judges, #2 will not please them with the important rendering of the sun looking that oh-so-very-digital way.

That leaves me to pick the winner as being Shot #1, which is a kind of cutesy shot, of a little girl operating a camera...so, by process of elimination, #1 is the winner of these three.

Thanks for the thoughts. I will bear them in mind, and yes, there are the odd older generation of photographer who may dislike these, for a variety of reasons.


Edit: And several younger models who will ALSO dislike these for a variety of reasons.
