Last weke we had the familt "Bird off" and I was well and truely beaten by my Brother in Law. He got to choose the next subject and he chose Bridges.
I feel that he had a distenct advantage in this topic due to where he lived and therefore had an unfair advantage. So if I get half of the votes he does I will declare myself the winner!
is my effort of the Ribblehead Viaduct in the Yorkshire Dales.
I vote for Graham's Viaduct, its a stunning photo, I like how the viaduct stands out and the composition is great with the inclusion of the wall and tree.
I love Nat's lighting and colouring, but I have to go with the Ribblehead Viaduct for it's awesome construction and great shooting angle showing off this feat of engineering :o)
Both are fabulous photos. I'm calling it a tie...a vote for each. :) Love Graham's pick for your next family competition. I'll save my vote for the door shot.
Again, they are both SO different! It is hard to decide which is "better"... I'm going for Nat's though. Mostly because of the lighting and the reflection of the water. Both are absolutely wonderful though!!
Wow this is a hard one guys! They are both fantastic with great compostion. The angle on the top is perfect because it draws you into the picture but the color and reflectin on the second one are stunning. It almost looks like a cello on it's side. I am not sure I can pick one over the other on this one!!
I gotta vote Nat on this one. I love the composition and the great reflections. And anyway Graham, I voted for yours last time ;) I'm all about spreading the love.
Yes, both great shots, but I am going with Nat's bridge. It is tough for me to compare them, though, because his has shinies, and sparklies, and pretty lights. I say next time both during the day, or both during the night would make it easier to decide! :D
In reviewing your photos, I will pretend I am the President of the Ajax Jigsaw Puzzle. My job is to select which will make a top selling puzzle, which gives both your photos an even review process over just what I would hang in my house.
#1 shows a magnificent older structure, has layers of texture, has shadow and depth in the sky. I think it may show too much in the background though.
#2 shows a modern bridge with color, intnesity and a bright reflection, but is too traditional in layout by having the horizon be in the exact center.
So in reviewing the puzzle committee, I think #1 is the winner, because there is more interest going on and will have a chance of being complete. The second one has just too much black in it for my puzzle review.
Thank you al for taking the time to comment on our pictures. The votes are very close at the moment which has been a huge suprise to me as I expected @natsnell to dominate.
I have to go with the Ribblehead Viaduct - draws my eye in and has the feel that I could just walk right into it and keep on going (but both pictures are amazing).
Congratulations Graham for winning this week, that makes it One all.
I have counted the votes and Nat has 16 - Graham has 17.
I should call that a draw because I also voted for Graham in an attempt to be the first to vote so I could choose the next challenge!
Well I think it's fair to say we gave each other a run for our money on this one.
Thanks to all the judges for taking time to comment on our photos. We are finding this fun as well has learning a lot about what make an appealing photo and hopefully improving our photography skills.
Graham Harcombe (@ellida) was first to vote so got to choose our next challenge.
This week we will mostly be shooting doors to get the best photo of "A door with character"… thanks Graham Harcombe.
Let's make it another close one Graham (@mrgtrueman).
That's a real toughy. I'll say yours wins just because the light Exposure is better: the whole picture has an even amount of color in it 'cause the light is so good.
Tweets ahoy!
