Photo Competition

[my porsche]

I decided to enter a local competition, in the Vacation Photo and Portrait/Pet categories, and was wondering if you could help me choose between a few shots...? just say one number from each category and click the picture for a 320x240 view, if you think its got potential but want to see it larger just let me know

Vacation Photo Choices:

#1 River In Montana


#2 Boat at my lakehouse (taken by putting a wide angle lens backwards )


#3 sunset in montana


Animal Portrait Photos:

#1 My Cat:


#2 Cat again


#3 my cousin's dog

any takers?

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Nah, they're all crap

[cmcpokey]

fluffy kitty

[Rockefella]

Either #1 or #2. Number 1 has a weird depth of field look to it. I know it's supposed to be blurred in the background, but it almost looks poorly taken so to speak.

[my porsche]

yeah #1 was like the first picture i tried to take something cool almost a year ago

i sent in #2 and #1

[NuclearCrap]

I'd say #2.

[Quiggs]

#2 is cool because it's so different from what you typically see. And I like the B+W one of the dog.

#3 cousin's dog seems nice..i like #1 as a close second...

[2ndclasscitizen]

#1 has terrible bokeh, #2 is rather good though, nice and original.

[Fleet 500]

I've always liked sunset pictures, so I pick that one (#3).

[my porsche]

oh i suppose it should be noted that 1 and 3 of the first set were with my old camera

whats bokeh?

[2ndclasscitizen]

it can get quite complicated to explain, but at its most basic description, its the quality of out of focus areas. It comes from your camera lens, so i'm not having a go at your shot, its actually quite nice, but the OOF areas lack quality

[my porsche]

oh yeah that was my old compact digi cam, not the greatest


that would never happen with my current one
