Once Again, Help Choosing Pictures (UPDATED with High-Res Photos), 56k Warning Options

[Coomer]

Earlier this year you guys were a big help in determining which photos to enter into a local art gallery. Now I'm going to be entering another one, and I'm unsure which photos I want to enter.

1



2



3



4



5


6



7



8



9



10


These are what I'm considering entering so far. If you have comments as to which you like and why, I'd love to hear them. Also, if you think one of my other photos that's not posted here is worthy, just let me know. I basically just want some input because I'm so indecisive.

DAMNIT coomer ....i think you could the ugliest car and make it look like its work 50k lol. Bro i really like 1 and 8.

[hitcachi]

Oh. My. God. #1 or #8 get my vote. I don't know exactly why, but when I look at those pictures, I get a weird feeling. In a good way though.

Coomer, what do you do for a living?

[celica47]

LMAO me too ....mann i cant stop looking at those two pics for reason!!!

[Chanh55]

5, 7, 8

[LewFX]

1 for depression
8 for hope

[celicurr]

#9 and #1

[Culpable04]

#1 is the best specially for an event where you want to generate an inpression, that's the kind of pic that make people think.
One negative that I see on that pic is the message wrote on the bench, I think would look better if you look at the pic and you have to really observe it to get the message, the message already writen is kind of giving away too easy, so it takes away some of the fine art on the pic.

Nice Job Coomer.
BTW what kind of camera do you use ?

I'm mostly just a student at the moment...I go to school full-time and work part-time as a website developer.

I shoot with a Nikon D70 and an Olympus C4000Z.

1, 5, 9.

1 and 9 especially have that sort of bleakness/hope quandrary; 9 is very interesting with the barbed wire and cardboard. The text on 1 will make some people think it's digitally manipulated it's so good. And 5? I'm just partial to buildings.

[massbrandon]

Dude WOW. 1 and 8 are awesome. then again...... all of your work is. Nice job man.

[playr158]

i really like 8,9 and 1 not particular order

[saleeka]

Nice work, sir. I think 1, 5, 6, and 8 are the standouts... I like one because of the play between the texture captured by the pavement and brick surfaces. Five is really interesting because the message on the cardboard seems all the more in contrast with the cold industrial setting because of the stereotypical imagry associated with "Jesus"... Six is great because within the photo, the large mass of color and the motion are one- you wouldent have either without both. Because of this, I think it's the standout. 8 is great from a more "typical" standpoint, the right place at the right time (because of the light) to make a hell of a photo. I'm impressed

[JFrost9]

I like 8 and 9...Im also a fan of 6, just because of all the color involved.

[snapshotgt]

#8

[tomazws]

i like #1 =)

[Supersprynt]

Impressive. I like your style.

1;2;6;7;8;10

10;8;7 in particular.

[BlackCelicaGT94]

2
7
8

[Mynzeyes]

1 is good, because of the asymmetrical balance. 8 is also good, because of the contrast and symmetrical balance. however, landscape photos like number 8 are very common, so it's kind of lost meaning to me(personal opinion). 9 would be good, but the star path is too much of a contrast from the focus on the building. i'd honestly like to see what number 1 would look like without you on the bench. i think it would offer much more of a psychological message, which is important in art.

also, being a fan of asymmetrical balance, i'd have to cast my vote for number 1. with number 8 in second.

[CelicaBuddy]

wow... I like all of them!

The ones that stick out most to me tho are 1,2,6,8,9

but wow... I just love your photography... its amazing

[airfron]

my favorite is 8 then 2 and 10

all are really nice pics though

[Chanh55]

5 is your best shot by a mile.

Everything else has been done before at nauseum.

Most of them are too centered and focused, makes for a boring composition, despite your effective use of colors and textures.

Your next best shot is 7, even though I've seen that type of photo run into the groud as well.

Then maybe 9.... eh I tie it equally with 7.

1 is just too emo.

damn thats a GOOD idea i would love to have one of these as a background also. WOuld you be willing to do that coomer/

[Batman722]

6
8
9

[97lestyousay]

If I could pick only one it would be #8 for sure. I love that shot.

[IdiotStick]

While 8 is beautiful, its what judges at those contests expect. #1 tells a story, and just has that "Dayamn" effect to boot

Id say go for number 1


And post up links for the full res pics so we can have some new wallpapers

[j0e_p3t]

wow... you've got some skills. i really like 1 8 9. good job.

[coldbluesteel]

2 and 8 I want my car in 2 and I want to drive on 8

I really like #1, as for the rest I like them equally, but I second the vote for high res shots for wallpapers

Photo number 8.

I typically find landscapes to be the most appealing. I enjoy the natural beauty in photo number eight. The complexity of the opaque, semi translucent clouds and brillant sunlight reflecting downward through the break is a welcome sight.

I'm drawn to imagine the manner in which I am traveling down this road. The sounds, the destination and point of departure.

Sure it may be a common theme in photography. It's still the one I looked at the longest and the one that evokes most emotion every time I see it.
