February Challenge - Voting

[AB22 Easy Tiger]

Time to vote for you favourite shot from our February challenge.

It was an open round but shots had to be taken with a point & shoot, a phone, or a camera on auto - the idea being to bring out the photographer's eye in the entrants. It seems to have worked, there are some fantastic entries this month.

You have 7 days to vote and the votes will be public. You can vote for as many as you want.

Entries are here

Please feel free to give constructive critique of the entries.

It means that 25% of those who voted, voted for that picture. Of course people have multiple votes.

Ahh.

the last one, not for the pic but for whoever defaced the sign

[TiredEyes]

Slippery Jim - Nice and simple, a pleasant shot.

tom tom macute - I usually like your shots but this is a bit too plain imo and a dog on the beach without a leash !!

Kid Galahad - Nice shot, shame there isn't a more detailed focus on the shingle, it's lost in the sunbeams.

HebburnMackem - A bit boring, don't see the benefit of it being in B&W and I don't like the copyright mark.

smoker - I wish you had made more use of the leading line road or found more reflections in the ice puddle.

MalmoMakem - I'm scared to say as I hope she's 18 but swit-swooo, pretty girl and I think you have achieved a old 70's style effect too.

matt1988 - Nice shot but perhaps it's better as a memory of a time, than as a competition entry.

clyde - Not quite as explosive as I think you were hoping for, a bigger wave with lots of height would have been better imo.

ds0rco - Seems to be lacking in colour for me, apart from the tree, it's all the same colour, a bit bland.

Hue Jorgan - I like this but I don't like the skew, I don't know what it gains from being skewed or being in B&W, Sunderland in B&W

MaDMaCKeM - I really like this, the eyes look menacing, I wish there was more of them in the darkness, it doesn't need the frame/border imo, it's already framed naturally.

lucky knickers - I like the colours and the long shadows on a subject close to my heart, however I hate the border, the black just doesn't fit the picture.

clockstand pie chucka - Lovely colour in the sky but jesus h christ, why have you stuck a great big thick black border round it ?!?!

minkeysteve - The winner this month imo, lovely shot, would of liked to seen a coloured version as I think perhaps you've lost some detail in B&W. - VOTE

Icarebecauseyoudo - Nice shot, great composition, just lacking that certain something.

wor kid telt me - Not sure why you have made this B&W, it's lost a lot of the details imo, the ship blends into the dock and is lost as a focus subject.

Steeeeed - Nice shot, the pole spoils it for me though, could you not have stepped forward a bit and lost the great big pole spoiling the symmetry of the shot, also I'd of cropped the bush on the right.

peachbum - I like this abstract shot but I hate the double border/frame and it's unfortunate to have the colour changing line/ceiling in shot too.

Amnorrageordie - Agile Poof as a shot it's ok but the star of the show is the cleverly vandalised sign.

Thank you. Your best review to date (not just mine but for all of us). The ceiling line is part of the picture! If I hadn't have wanted it I would have taken the picture from a different angle. Can't win with the frame really, some of us like them, some of us don't; I do tend to use toned down frames now though.

Thanks for your review of my shot,not much control as only taken on my Galaxy S with no effects and not much control! A proper 'as you see it shot',will try harder next time!

You so should have, it doesn't add anything to the shot, only detracts from it, a clean background and you'd of gotten my vote !!
