Just remember people, the challenge says...
Use high contrast to create impact in your photograph.
If you have a picture with high contrast, but the picture would have looked better with low contrast, it isn't going to score well in my book. Anybody can hit "image>adjust>brightness&contrast>contrast +40". It isn't going to mean it scores well. |

I like it, great example. What's it of? |
I almost forgot about this image because I never really liked how it came out. This was in November last year when I went to Vancouver BC and saw this place. I think it's like a maritime museum or convention hall or something along those lines. Any Canadian neighbors out there? |
It looks like its of Canada Place, which was our pavillion during Expo '86. That building is now home to the cruise ship terminal, a convention centre and hotel and the Imax theatre! :)

I didn't even take my entry with the challenge in mind... I was just trying to show something a lens I have can do for somebody who was looking for one 8-)

i just decided to not enter my shot...i'm not sure how it would score, and i'm just not convinced that it is a great example of "high contrast."
i would appreciate any comments or thoughts you have on the shot.
Thanks,
kelly

Thats a nice shot kelly, but I think you were right to pull it, because for me it doesn't show high contrast. The actual shot is a nice sharp capture but could be improved by a couple of things. Firstly, I think you should level up the horizon, or make it really really wonkey, so it looks like you've done it intentionally for drama. Secondly, I feel like there should be more space to the left and right of the birds to give them some room to fly into, as the crop is too close for comfort in my opinion there. Finally, I think the composition of the image is too horizontal. What i mean is that everything forms horizontal lines across the image, with no real vertical variation, which creates an un-exciting composition in my opinion.
Hope that all made sense... I copied it to the photo as a proper comment incase you lose this thread later :)

Kelly, that's totally NOT high-contrast. In fact, it leans in the other direcxtion; the overall effect is of a sort of pastel scene. Nice capture, though!

here is a self-portrait my daughter took. this would still be considered a high-contrast shot even though there isn't much white in it, right? |
