Ok folks, heres a chance to sit behind the desk and review a few pics...

One of these (6) photos will appear in a "2008" Vermont Calendar, Theme, Covered Bridges.... You make the choice, which one is it??

TWO

THREE

FOUR

FIVE

SIX

I like #1 and #4. If you can crop in tighter on #1, that would be my choice. Else it's #4.

 

[RKW3]

3 or 4 probably.

I actually find #2 stands out the most. They are all very beutiful though!

I would like to see #1 larger. Otherwise, its #4 for me, its got the best contrast. #2 is hazy, but the foliage is beautiful. If that one was a bit clearer, I might choose that one, but you can't see the bridge that well. Overall, they are all very good.

Hey Thanks all above for your guess ... Gonna give this a bump to the top again before telling which one made the grade..

wow it sure dropped down the page fast...

#3 and #4 are fine, but #6 works best for me in terms of composition and subject matter.

If there weren't these funny things going on in Photo 2 (foggy pic, no contrasts), that one would be my pick. I know that of the intended subject there is only little to be seen, really, but I do like the fact that the many branches and leaves surround what is the subject with a bit of mystery. But something is not right about saturation and sharpness. Both too strong along with too week contrasts and depth (not "of field"!) ... I don't quite understand what it is that went wrong... Was it maybe rescued in PS from an all underexposed photo?

i like 4 and 5

Four is a classic calendar shot, great pic!

Well this should show IMO, that what you sometimes like and think is good , is not always a winner,,, As I said , I sent around 50 shots in a submission, and granted not all are great, but you want different looks also..

As with Magazines, luck and timing are sometimes everything...

Ok enough, hear ya ya go. IF YOU PICKED #3.... YOU GOT IT!

Now they will without doubt enhance this photo, but I still feel not seeing the entire bridge/ the tree on right/ the hot area under bridge ( support/ and virtually no sky, would shoot this pic right off the desk...

so again, this is a type filler shot, not great , but what they wanted.. perhaps it was this bridge's location, town???

Thanks folks..

#4 is the BEST

1 Too busy in the foreground.
2 Nowhere near the quality necessary for publishing.
3 Lack of contrast; doesn't 'pop'
4 Good shot. Probably my choice.
5 Way to busy and covered up by branches.
6 Less interesting bridge than 4; but a better shot.

I have to agree with some pp's - I like number 2 if it weren't so hazy! But I love the contrast in 4 - seems I agree with everyone above!

Nice work!

#1 and #4 for me
