Which picture for yellow competition?

yak.h'cir · 12 Jun 2006 at 17:00

I've gone for the splash of yellow approach for my entry. I've got a few different angles and undecided which one to enter...

EDIT:Now replaced with the reprocessed picture.

Or:

Or finally:

Number 2 as they are, but number 1 might just creep in with the win with some reprocessing!

The second one definately. The first one would look great if it was not for all the horrible noisey blotches.

Number two gets my vote

Great shots btw, but the second one is definately my favourite

Definitely #2

2, for sure. An image like this needs to be pretty clean which... 1 isn't.

3 isn't yellow enough.

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 12 Jun 2006 at 18:12

2 Without a shadow of a doubt

Great pic btw

2 as is, 1 would have won if it wasnt so noisy.

yak.h'cir · 12 Jun 2006 at 18:15

Thanks for all the comments. Decided I might as well sort the noise in the first pic to make it a fair comparision:-

EDIT
Seems a little too orange on here. It was yellow in PS i promise! Does it look more orange to everyone else??? (stupid colour profiles!!)

hoodmeister · 12 Jun 2006 at 18:27

OK... That's a world of difference. I'm not too sure now! It is a fair bit more orangey now, yes...

There is some nasty artifacting on the new version, too - but I'm guessing that's just down to JPEG compression.

Hmmm... I think I prefer that one now!

Number 2 still wins it for me.

philio16 · 12 Jun 2006 at 18:38

Number 1 is looking pretty decent now its been reprocessed....still a tough choice for me!

yak.h'cir · 12 Jun 2006 at 18:48

Yellow enough? Also i'm pretty sure the artificates that are appearing a little now are down to compression, doesnt show up on the full quality version.

2, I think it fits in as a more harsh yellow and i prefer the composition of it. I think 1 could also win it though, I think it is a bit more active.

Edit: Repeating myself again.

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 12 Jun 2006 at 19:23

Still number two. 1 is good but Its one of those shots I think most people have in their portfolio.

You know what. At first I didnt like shot 3 but its just really jumped out at me

Dont think its any good for the comp but I do like it

Joe T · 12 Jun 2006 at 19:27

No. 1 for me, even before the reprocessing.

morgan · 12 Jun 2006 at 20:00

yak.h'cir · 12 Jun 2006 at 20:03

Thank you everyone, but I think for now I'm going to go with number 2! Although I may retake it and try and get the drop a little higher above the water...

Richard T · 12 Jun 2006 at 21:44

you deffo made the right choice
