I think I like the last one best, what do you think










I'm not sure if there is a bit of a shutter problem there or if the world did get darker on the left hand side that day

Can't help you with the shutter - it could just be the light (which you've made good use of, just BTW).

I like each of them, for different reasons, and really can't call it between #2 and #3. I keep thinking it should by #3 as being less busy - but then I change my mind.

I ADORE the First.... I keep coming back to that ONE out of three

 

[Tin]

Yes, I like the first one too, with or without the bush in the foreground. Perhaps it is a bit better without the bush, with the picture cropped into a panoramic format.

 

[Thardy]

I like 3 then 2 best.

I was just thinking exact same thing

As above actually ... i really like the first I think the bush adds something, not sure what but I'd leave it in. I like the reflections ion the ocean too
Not really moved by 2 and 3 i found my self looking all over the image for a main point of interest without luck. Maybe there is too much foreground clutter ... try a crop and see what you think.

They are, obviously, three different shots. I like the first one, with the bush, as a quiet mood shot. The other two are more scenic/travel shots.
They are all good.

The photo is to illustrate the straits between Albania and Corfu, and dispite being on my shot list those are the only three that I got that are any good.

I'm having trouble deciding which to use, 3 has the better composition but I keep going back to 1

PS thanks folk

I have to keep the 2:3 format sadly

looks like the sun is coming from the right in most frames so I cant see evidence of shutter fault.

I prefer #1

how about this, sorted the illumination and cropped it a bit, any better? "postcard" is'nt a bad thing in this context.

1 seems too linear to my eye that line across the middle of the frame just drags my eye off to the edges all the time, I like the feel of the pic but the composition is rubbish

 

[ferider]

Still like the first one better, Stewart. Has great depth to it.

 

[Sparrow]

OK Roland I'll have another go at No1, but I still don't like the composition, this is the facing page

and this the new layout

the text reads;

… so, when Odysseus sailed off, towards the sunrise, the storm that wrecked him would have been one of those mighty electric storms that can build up for days above the Albanian mountains before sweeping south: a sound system and light show worthy of Zeus, enjoyable at a distance but close up you can see why he got such respect in his day – a bit like Pink Floyd, you need to be a little way back from the speaker arrays to fully enjoy the show …

 

[ferider]

Looking good. Like the PF comparison, too

 

[delft]

Well, since you refer to Ulysses sailing off, I think #3 is appropriate, or am I too simple-minded?

No I don't think so, it's an illustration after all, I just cant get the same luminosity in No1. I think I'm too close to it now I've been messing with it most of the day

I see the contex now. Although I prefer one as a stand alone I`m not sure that it works as well in the situation that you plan to use it. Two looks very similar to the colour one. Is that good ? I don`t know. Three brings out the text that you are planning to use.
