Photo Challenge Rejects!

[Rodders]

Looking at these photos, i can't see what's wrong with them. On what basis do you reject a photo?

 

[HoopyFrood]

Only two photos per month are allowed for the challenge, so you have to be quite objective about which photos you want to post. Yes, these are some very good photos, but generally the ones that are posted in the other thread are the better ones. You usually just get a 'feel' for what looks better, be it through subject, appearance, composition, etc...

'Course, there's always the eenie, meeny, miny moe method...

Wow, Cul, I don't know if that wheel one is better than the other one.... I LOVE it! Tough job you had deciding which one to pick.

As for me, sometimes it's hard to pick a shot to use for the challenge, but only because I take so many if I go out to the Lakes (assuming I can use one of those in the challenge). If I don't have a lot of time to upload a shot, though, it makes the job easier because I won't have taken as many photos in the timescale I have left before the challenge closes.


And... since I didn't make the deadline this month, here's what I would've had to pick from (which were the shots I wanted to upload for the challenge):

And the last two:

...whoa.

Haha, Hoops took the words right out of my mouth. I particularly like that first one, Leish. The mono fetishist in me wonders what it would look like sans colour. (Which also explains why I went the black and white route for this month's entry...)

 

[Erin99]

LOL! Thanks you two. I haven't had much time in the Lakes this month, so those were from one outing (and mostly grab shots, too, such as the reflective lake).

 

[Culhwch]

Sigh. I wish I had that kind of subject just laying around...

 

[HoopyFrood]

A few rejects from this month.

 

[Culhwch]

Love those black and whites, Hoops.

Here was the last picture I considered for this months competition. Although it's not a good picture of the bird, the shadow was the best image of it.

I think his name was Archie, here's a better look at him;

Cul, you are a black and white fiend!

 

[Culhwch]

I know, it's a sickness. I need rehab.

 

[HoopyFrood]

Embrace the colour, Cul!

Mind you, I feel your pain...I'm a complete macro addict. Perhaps there's a nice big Photographers' Rehab somewhere...

 

[Erin99]

K, here comes my massive reject pile for this month, and I've HATED(!) having to pick an image this time. There's just something appealing about coin piles........

 

[Erin99]

And the last few........ Ahem.......

 

[Erin99]

Oops... apparently I have one more post to make. Sorry.

 

[Culhwch]

Just a few rejects there, hey Leish? I like the very first one the most. Something about that bronzed lion poking out from all the silver...

[Erin99]

Thanks, Cul! That picture is the one I *really* wanted to upload to the proper thread, although the other coin picture won out. But two of you prefer this one...!

I'm really liking Seph's entries this month, though.......... the globe is my favourite so far.
