I was quite happy with my score in the Money challenge, so no complaint but with this challenge I really had trouble deciding which of three photos to submit. The one I went with is very different to the others, where I tried for a special effect.
So, which of the three should I have gone for? and comments in general on the new ones please ....
Challenge entry:
Alternates:
Considering we only had time to take 5 runs with the car, and I had never tried shots like this, I was quite happy with the results. With only the two of us there was a heap of running between camera and positions while the timer ticked though *laugh*

| I think you picked the right shot! I like the pose and simplicity of it. If you wanted a car in it, I think it might have been good to have the car still and her leaning into the driver side window. |

The one you entered was the best. The car in the two photos you didn't submit is a bit distracting imo.

LOL, nope, she didn't make me pay, well, not with cash. That's my camera murdering girlfriend playing dress-ups.
Thanks for the feedback there guys, I thought I picked the right one, but friends I showed all picked different ones each and got things more confused than ever.

| I concure with the census... you picked the right one. I like the other two shots also but I think they take away from the point of focus. |

I think what we really want to know is.... did anyone stop and try to pick her up? |

Well now Simon, I have two minor quibbles.
First, technically, she's a "camera-maimer", but cannot be charged with camera murder, unless the laws are different down under ;)
Second, you promised ten consecutive macro submissions with the 100/2.8, you've been caught in a lie!

No cars went by, so she didn't get any business Techno ;)
Well "attempted murder" Kirbic .... but as the camera is rapidly doing a death spiral and starting to play up, it may well end up as murder!
As for the macro shots, um, errr ...... would you believe she is actually only 2 inches tall, and thus that was actually a macro shot?

It's too snapshotish. Seems like a driveby shot. You know the type of shot you get when you're driving your car. The focus is decent so it looks like you stopped and took a quick shot.
The interesting thing about the composition is that she is looking at the left side of the composition and you have the street/sidewalk angled in that direction making wonder what she was thinking or looking at.
