Contest
I am going to enter a juried show on Monday and am trying to decide which photo to use. It is such a long process and I know I am my harshest critic. I have these two plus two more that I am printing out tonight so I can see what I like better.

I vote for the second of these two. Because the dogs paws are cut off, and because the dog scene is flatter (from a contrast point of view). Content-wise, both are nice, but in very different ways.
I vote for the second one two, but I don't have a real reason. I just like it better! :-)
Good for you!
I like both, the top one because it has so much in it and the bottom one because it seems so deceptively simple.
I also vote for the second one. The contrast and angle are really nice, and somehow the first one seems too busy in composition.
Good for you for entering a juried show! :) You go, girlfriend!
I like the second one better also but my taste is usually pretty simple!
I like the second one better too, it almost seems like it is black and white and yet it is not.
so. which one did you use? and how did the contest end up?
The contest deadline for entry is today so I will be submitting something (still deciding now that I have a few desert pieces I like) before midnight. I won't even hear if I made it into the show until mid-March. They go thru a couple of thousand photos and only choose about a hundred so who knows. It's worth a shot tho!
I vote for Number Two also. GOOD LUCK! Since I'm late here, how did it turn out?
BTW, LOVE the quote...so true!
