| Hi all, I would love your input on this shot. This was what I had in mind when I saw the challenge topic, but after I took the picture it just did not look like what I hoped so I went with something else. What do you think? //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=42430 |

Personally, I think your City of Orlando shot was a much better photo. The fireplug photo was had distractions like the orange cones/barrels which didn't work well in the photo. City of Orlando was a fine shot and the only reason it didn't do better is because, IMHO, there were lots of very fine pictures in this challenge -- yours among them.

However, a firehydrant (I don't spell that one very often) offers a unique subject. It's also commonplace, so to score well you probably need to show it in a way we don't normally see it.
Suggestions:
- get a row of them along a long block or two and make them form a diagonal or some unique arrangement.
- wait for a dog, get a ground-level angle, and take his picture *before* he lifts his leg.
Allow us to see it in a new light, a humorous way, or something creative about it. When you execute something like that, creatively and technically well done, IMO you'll score high.

Friends are visiting your home and you have 20 X 30 inch poster of the fire hydrant with working crew background and pale sky color on your wall!
The question would be " what is wrong with you?" |

Take 'em when you got time! You can always practice composition during the daytime. :)
However, warmer light does tend to lead to a more saturated sky and subject.
A firehydrant at night...perhaps an entry for "Alone". |
