Here's mine:



I *think* I made the right decision... didn't I?

Not so much an outtake, more a confession. I seriously expected my shot to score a 4.8 or less, it was meant as a joke - but - well - people believe their eyes. This was my entry:

If you look for more than 2 seconds you'll start to see things wrong with it. The sky is pixelated... the foreground is sharp, too sharp - and flat. The angle of the sky to the ground is wrong, sooo many errors - but people believe their eyes. This almost got a 6.0.

Here is the original:


I found a lovely image on a science site and stretched it to fit my desktop (thus the pixelization), then placed paper a cut-out of sorta satellite dish shapes in front of the monitor and click. It was meant to be an anti-entry ... but it scored okay lol

Not exactly an outtake, just had to prove that I'm more of a talented bar stool surfer than a super hero :-)

This was my initial test run to see if I could do it.


This one became our Christmas card. I want to pla yaroudn with this type of image to get it down sharp and start doing some family portriats.

Alternate:


Thought the alternate was less about the sky an opted not to use it.
Guess it wouldn't have made a lot of difference in the end anyway

We had a "bad sky week" basically. I started with this one as a fallback image but I knew it would not do well. I probably would have jazzed it up with some sort of montage, but then the GREAT sky happened in the nick of time.



The same session that produced my ribbon image gave me this one; I had originally entered this (made the birds for it). I wonder how it would have done?



Then I went back to the originals and started noodling with a wider view, which I had thought on first glance was less impressive, and it really popped for me, so I ended up entering this one.



Does anyone prefer the tighter, vertical shot? I'm curious...

I do. I find the composition more interesting with less to look at.
