So, I partially wanted to show off, and I partially need a hand. I am trying to select what to submit in an art show. I have it narrowed down to five prints. Help me out, EfU!

For those people that are interested, these were shot with 35mm film, except for the first and last which were medium format. These are all scans of RC Glossy Paper Prints that I did, hence the scratch here or there.

So, I throw myself upon the collective mercies of the EfU playerbase. What to submit?

The second one is great!

I'd go for either the first of second.

Second one by far.

1st one is my favourite

I really liked the first.

I like the first two the most, and the second one of those a little more.

:wink:

The fourth one jumped right out at me immediately, but the first is the most powerful when appreciated at full size.

Number 4..no 1.. nono waite number 9!!

Naa number 3

I call for the one with chess pieces.

The first and then fourth would easily be my top picks.

The fourth.

Second.

The first, but the second is neat too.

The second would be far better if it was the "King" that was laid over. The imagery is very powerful, nonetheless. If that was somehow the king on the chess board you play, you need to get a chess board with proper pieces.

P.S.--Looks more like a bishop or queen laid over, rather than the king. Art critics/collectors are far more anal than me, I'm just saying.

The second is by far the most powerful, in my opinion.

Very nice, Deputy!

It was the king.

I figured. People will most likely "get it".

I of course meant no disrespect, just trying to help! :)

The crack about proper chess pieces was a small elitist jest.

I challenge you to a game of chess, Pup, you "elitist"!

Oh, and I also like the chess photo the best.

second is fine with the piece as is, but I like the fourth composition wise. Very cool static piece, very strong.

I'd say the chess one too. But, only thing that bothers me is that the subject of the photo is in the middle of the picture. If we're going rather elitist and critic, the subject in the middle of the photo is a big no-no. And by that I mean a big no-no. Not even the Mona Lisa is painted in the center of the image. She's more towards either the right or the left, I don't remember. Anyways.. Another thing I noticed was that there was little air in some of the photos. Empty space is good. Like on the third photo, you had some of the wall there. That's good, but you'll want air on the other side of it too.

Enough from me. I vote for the "Chess" one. Thumbs up on photos though'.

I'd go for chess as well because i may not no a single thing about art but i know what i like. Well that and i used to be an avid chess player.

The second, because it holds meaning. It actually struck a chord with me.

First and Second! Although, I'm having trouble picking only one as they're both on par with eachother.

I like the CAUTION one, 'cos its like.. CAUTION, DEPUTY IS 2 COOL.

But, I also like the Fall of the King one, 'cos its.. meaningful is some way.

<_<

>_>

The word Caution on the first is upside down, and disturbs me (But that's the wierdo me)

I liked the fourth, it felt strong, represents the cold strong steel. A chain which bind and never brake.

After that I liked the second, but I felt there is little space, as if they tried to squeeze in there.

Third and fifth I couldn't understand, but I'm from a far different place (Israel), thus might (and probably) analyze things differently taking in account I'm used to different sights.

Thus I would pick the first picture as my third place.

So, Fourth, then Second, then First are my picks.

Goodluck mate!

Edit: picture instead of picute

Well, I don't understand the third and fifth either.

Anthee I challenge you to a game of chess, Pup, you "elitist"!

Oh, and I also like the chess photo the best.

Damn. One more thing to get pwned by Anthee at. :lol:

Well, I appreciate the help guys! I ended up going with the last one, though, despite the heavy favor of #2. I will say though, that #2 is my personal favorite as well, but due to a problem with the negatives, those scratches simply wouldnt come off, and for anyone who knows about Photography Shows, Scratches are huge problems.

I submitted the last shot, of the Bus Headlight, and won first place. Thanks for taking a look at my stuff! I appreciate the feedback. If you're ever interested in purchasing a photo of some sort (They make great art for around the house) and think one of those would look nice in your place, just message me. I'll probably put up some more stuff, later, because I like to show off.

Thanks guys!

Congratulations!

Yeah, what Sternhund said!

I thought they were all pretty good actually so it's good to see recognition, you've obviously got talent in the field. :P

Congratulations, mate! :) Was interesting to see your talent, so feel free to show off!

Sternhund Congratulations!

alogen Congratulations, mate! :) Was interesting to see your talent, so feel free to show off!

I love photography. There is just something about the power of a properly captured moment in time.

Congratulations.

Picked up this thread late, but thought all were very good!
