My Best

By Roundabout written 8/21/07 12:35 PM, published 8/23/07 7:35 AM

I've been looking through my pictures and trying to figure out which one is my very best. I've narrowed it down to these twelve. If you had to pick just one, which would you choose? What made you decide to pick that one?

Thanks in advance for your input. I'm really trying to develop my photographic eye and skill. Feel free to offer any kind of criticism.

Sister's Bay for the composition and color. Buckingham fountain came out very nice as well. They are all great shots!

I enjoyed them all, would vote for toronto, greenville and lexington. Overall, I'd like to see you focus or crop more tightly on most of these.

Chicago, love the glittering lights and composition. Also Greenville...looks eerie and its certainly got some unusual lighting.

Toronto, Chicago, Bass Harbor and Sisters Bay. Hard to pick a "best" out of this set because they are all quite good. Bass Harbor is so appealing to me personally, because it captures the essence of Maine for me and I love both the compostion with the rocks and the angry clouds. Something about Fountain bothered me...there is a haloing effect around the buildings that kept drawing my eye away from the foreground.

Toronto--you've shown good composition skills here. Good use of the rule of thirds and the lines carry your eye throughout the image. Bass Harbor and Sisters Bay have the same qualities but I think Toronto is the strongest. And which is *your* favorite?

I almost couldn't choose, because they are all excellent, I have to view several times, these are my choices: chicago, for the composition and perfect lighting, greemville sets for its colours and lighting and lexington for its sharpness and symetricity.

#4 Chicago is my favorite, good lighting, nice picture of the way it really looks, good emotional feel and excitement of a walk along the Chigago River, good focus and just like being there. #8 Maine is my next favorite, because I like lighthouses! Lexington is also interesting, because of the unusual subject, but the lights at the bottom kinda mess it up. Some of the others have exagerated lighting that I don't care for or have subjects that are too ordinary, or colors that are just beautiful, but also just due to luck of the day, like Sisters Bay. Now don't get me wrong they are all good shots in their own way, it's just my opinion.

I'm with ashton, I like #3 the least... it's just not as appealing. But the others have great compostions and colors.

"Bass Harbor" for its beautiful composition! Also really like "Toronto Ship". Love the low-hanging clouds in "Maine", but I'm not sure about the angle. Prefer the daytime shots. Great shooting!

I chose Bass Harbor also, though all are good, but we were there a few months ago. I wish we could have had that sky the day we visited.

I really loved Niagara Falls, with the balloon in the sky and the Maid of the Mist in the water. It just seemed to jump out at me. My second fav was Chicago.
