First off let me say that one or two of my outtakes from Best of '04 resemble photos in the challenge. They aren't mine. These are nothing like the one I entered.
First are my architecture outtakes, neither of which I liked. I ended up chosing my entry for the drama of the lighting and angle; these others I just find to be quite boring, especially the first one. I ran out of time, though.
 
These are photos that I considered for Best of '04. All around, I think I chose the best one as my actual entry, but I did really consider using the Shasta picture instead. The ocean one I didn't really consider, due to the fact that there's just too much pixelation from compressing it, but I thought I'd share it because I thought it was pretty. Same with Still Death, really. I personally consider them up there (well, and some of those in my portfolio, but I wasn't going to enter something I'd posted already) but I have strange taste, and I didn't really want them to get trashed in a challenge :) Nonetheless, criticism and comments on any of these would be greatly appreciated.
