I like it a lot! It hink it would have faired very well. The water is like velvet and the exposure feel very correct. Just a very aesthetic piece to look at.
What I really like about your shots (bobdaveant and caba) is that they utilize leading lines to enhance the focus of the center composition. I really think the winner will probably have something with leading lines. I wish I would have though about that, seeing that the one I submitted really doesn't. I am extremely proud of my centered shot by the way and am excitied to see how it fares.
well now... seeing all you alls "REJECTS" i can clearly see that my shot will not fair well at all! =) can't wait to see your chosen shots... someday i deam of taking that perfect shot =) lol
Here is my reject. I wondering now if this one would have done better.
Chris, I'm sorry but I fail to see what is your centered subject in this photo.
treat the boat and the skier as one and it'll make sense. it's a stretch, but i could squish it into my 'meets the challenge' box. I try to be pretty liberal.
Curious about this one--After my results in abstract I wasn't sure how another camera movement based shot would be received, so I used a different shot for centered.
Curious for feedback, and how you might have scored it in Centered!
Note: this was done according to basic editing rules. No filters were used.
I would have probably scored this around a 6. If the center was sharper and the colour more vibrant then maybe as high as 8. The lighting just seems a bit flat.

Thanks. Actually, I flattened the light with levels and a hue/saturation layer to give it a more painterly look. I will reconsider the amount as I work that one for my portfolio.
The sharpness in the middle is pretty hard to do. Try rotating your camera while shooting and see ;)
I'm really regretting my entry in this challenge. It was a stretch to fit the challenge and I can see I was right. Just take a look at my comments after voting is done, you'll see. It should have been entered in a different challenge or scrapped from the current one. I was just over anxious with my new toy that I felt compelled to submit something. Next time around, I'll make sure it's worthy. :)
