I took this picture back in March:
because I knew about a photo competition themed on the famous Nikko Cryptomeria (Japanese Cedar Tree) Road. The deadline for entries was in August or September, but I let it slide by, partly because I'm not really confident of making a good enough print.
Today the newspaper published the winning entry...
mist among the trees.
Do you think mine is better? ;>þ (Notwithstanding the quality of a newspaper scan) |

Well, now you will never know. So curse your laziness LoL
I like yours more, but it is difficult to judge from the colors of the newspaper.

| Oh, yes - I hope to be able to get in to see the exhibition of the top 38 photos (out of 308) entries, in about three weeks. |

Sorry, but I gotta go with Techno on this one. The water on yours just bothers me a little. It just seems to be shooting up from the bottom of the photo. It make me feel like I'm about to get swept downstream. I think if you had cropped up from the bottom a bit I would like it more. (don't get me wrong, I do like it and wish I could shoot something as nice.) The one in the paper just gives me a calm, relaxed feeling.

| the composition and focus of theme is better in the newspaper...not that yours is bad or anything (because it's not), it's just that people are suckers for misty trees :) |

Thanks. I see what you mean. Also, this isn't the final edit/crop, or even the shot I would definitely have used, but it's the one I still have on my computer.
It looks like I will have to ask advice for another photo competition I have the entry form for (somewhere) ;>þ. |
