Which one is your favorite?

[EmMcCon]

I'm planning on submitting a photo to Nikon's Student Photo contest and I have some ideas but I want to know what you [the whole forum and you specifically] think. If you have time maybe check out my flickr page and post the title of your favorite (yes I know there are a lot) but it would be a huge help.

I like the Golden Gate Bridge Silloute. Interesting angle on it. Are you performing any post editing?

 

[EmMcCon]

I'm currently going through the California ones and editing them as needed but I haven't posted any of those yet as there were just so many, school started, etc.

Any specific recommendations?

 

[EmMcCon]

Bump

You need to be the person to choose your shot for a contest. What shots do you think are your best?!! If you have a hard time picking post a few and we will help you.

I've managed to narrow it down to 6 (of 150-something) None of these have had any PP so if you have any specific ideas please tell me and as always general C&C is appreciated

(this one specifically needs to have the boat removed and some cropping)

I don't know how... but the "Golden Gate Birdge Silloute" is amazing. I don't know what makes it so nice. Maybe I fail at choosing picture, anyways. Any other opinion about this one?

 

[WadeMack]

I'm not a fan of "Golden Gate Bridge Silloute". I prefer "Golden Gate Bridge".

What he said.

Golden Gate Bridge Silhouette is wonky. Golden Gate Bridge is better but needs some post-processing. Mostly contrast.

Ya, way too many for me to go through and pick out my Favorite. That being said, out of the ones you posted, the last one "golden gate bridge" is probably the best imo. As forkie mentioned it couple also probably use a little pop.

Out of the six golden gate bridge is the best imo. The angle on the silloute is to screwy for me.

I took your guys' advice here's what came out


Golden Gate Bridge cleaned up by EmMcCon, on Flickr

I just added a little contrast and cloned the boat out (is that cheating?)

 

[DyeMyEyes]

I felt like the boat added character.

 

[redessa]

Yeah, I liked the boat.

As for cheating, does the contest have any rules about PP?
