Here are my outtakes:
  
  
Also, during the challenge my entry had a few comments on color cast which I had missed. To show the difference here is the entered version and a properly processed one without the color cast. My mistake as I was in a hurry and re-submitted multiple times. I just could not decide and uploaded the wrong one.
entered (with color cast) 
proper white balance -

Thank you Kivet. You are right, a sharper image would have been better. At 300mm focal length without a tripod (although I had the IS lens), this was the only shot I got with his expression just right that wasn't blurry! :) I should have done some more post-editing. Thank you for your comments...every bit helps me to improve.
Thank you. |

Here's the one I submitted and the one I almost did. I chose the first one because it had more "character" but the Eagle has greater clarity. Should I have chosen the Eagle instead? Any advice would be helpful.

I am always keen on seeing the eyes - the outtake wins for me |
Thanks for clarifying! One very useful comment I should add! Will heed the advice for the future shots. |

I agree with your choice. The other one is too... how should I put it... too busy. I gave yours a 9, the other would have gotten a 5 or 6 from me. |

Having just waded through this thread, this lengthy thread, I have a couple of observations.
I think the whole question of seniority was brought up in the context of the ethos and tone of the site, which is on the whole rather kind and supportive, and what behaviors were seen by the community as fostering the positive benefits of the site. A vertran of the site might help a new member understand what has been the behavior in the past, and how the community as a whole might react to any given action. When someone says "well that isn't how it has always been" and they have been here three weeks, thier notion of "always" is different than someone who has been here for years.
I don't feel strongly about out-takes, but have always thought it " wasn't cricket" to post before judging was complete, as it might take interst away from the work of those who had made the effort to submit to the challenge. I see it a bit like going to a neighbour's house during dinner, having no intention of eating their food, and then offering the other guests your bag of potato chips to share. OK that analogy didn't quite work, but that may be because the whole question is such a slippery issue.
Had the title just been Zoo shots, and skipped the word outtakes, some how that would have been kosher, I can't point to a rule and say why, just would have felt better.
And as mama used to say " if you can't say it nice, don't say nothing at all."

I defer to your 5 entries into challenges and your 94 visits to the forums over the last nearly 2 years. I did not realize that you had such insight to how this community works. Post away... |
In the future, if you wish to debate a point please do so on its merits alone. Site users of any tenure or level of participation are welcome and encouraged to participate, and that includes expressing their opinions in the forums. It is not appropriate to in any was suggest that a user's participation in a discussion is not welcome simply because their past participation does not meet some arbitrary level that you have established.
I think this thread shows that such assumptions are not always valid.

Where did you get them?
I do not understand, if they are outtakes, why is it possible to see them before the voting is over?

I couldnt because it is dark 20 hours every day in the winter time.
