I think I made a big mistake and should have gone with this shot:



I love the cloud coming off the eraser, and I like the closer crop. I never really looked closely at that one. I have a happy score, but I think the alternate shot would have done much better. What do you think?

This was my top pick too, and I guess the second one is slightly less mass appealing due to the face expression.

I don't know, Wendy. I think the shot you chose would in fact get you the best score, even tho both of them are fabulous. What a great photo! Congratulations on 8th place!

I'm surprised you didn't get a ribbon, this was my fave, I personally gave you a 10 but...hey at least you're in the top 10 :) The one you didn't use is also awesome, it sucks to wonder if it would've scored higher.

Gave you an 8, both are good, I think the alternate looks less sharpened/processed though.

Hope this wins a ribbon, a wee bit posterized on my screen but perhaps this is the effect you were going for.

Memories. Funny how I always thought it was an honor to clean the erasers, lol. Nice job.

Love the graininess the dust produces. And the lighting is terrific.
