I like the books much better. The faded rosebud just didn't do anything for me and I only gave it a 4. I would have given the books a 6. But then that is just me.
Hey Mark. I definetely like the books better. The focus and color on them are much more dynamic than the faded rosebud (which i know is intentional of course :) but I think that would have gotten a higher score. If you could, check out my forum post "Color version of my B photo." I had the same problem as you and am also looking for feedback. Choosing the best picture to submit is always difficult and it's nice to check with other people after the challenges are over to see if you made a good decision.
When I was about ten, our Basenji Mira accompanied us to the door for her first Hallowe'en. She got one look at the trick-or-treaters, went "woof" and ran and hid under the bed.
Mark, i also prefer the Books image. I made a dumb mistake. Had submitted Low Tide (see Recent Portfolio Additions on my profile page), liked it. At the eleventh hour decided that it wouldn't go over well with the voters, then i pick the worst of the bunch and submitted that. It didn't go over well with the voters and myself. Oops :)
Journey, I prefer Baywatch, it is much better than the duotone in low tide. It might IMO be a little over saturated, or are those bright greens the natural color?
