My original idea was "Cant see the forest for the . . ." and I took these for that idea;
But then I remembered the road to my uncle's place in Lesmurdie and thought of "Guard of Honour" and got my entry, however I liked this shot better but it had a raindrop on the lens so I diodnt want to get massacred for it.
However, my entry did nab me a personal best score so I am content.
Same lake, I just turned and put the rising sun 90 degrees to my camera. The entry was shot towards the rising sun. I liked the higher contrast better for submission. Probably a wrong choice!
I seemed to have been bit by the DNMC Nazis who didn't consider part of a tree to be a tree.
I probably would have done even worse with this outtake even though I think it's DPC friendly and was a product of very lucky lighting (instead of any artificial background)...
