This site is great...
Posted my first pic for the current B&W contest and for it I selected a photo I took while partying down town. I stumbled in to a shaby bar and took some photos of the local crowd. They were geting ready to throw me out with my flash going of all the time ;)
I was not totaly sober at the time and I did not give the woman a cigarette and a drink for props. There for I think it would be apropriate to show ones story along with the photo just so people get the right impression from the it and don´t get the urge to send comments like this one ...
The lighting is not right for me, possibly due to the brightness behind the woman and on the front of the machine ...[].. The drink and cigarette props don''t add either. Lastly, I don''t like the guy in the background, or the angle.
I thought it was not appropriate to ask the guy behind the bar to move out of the way while I stole that shot...or wait, I didn´t even notice him while he was not serving me drinks...
Some times this site is a bit to professional ;)
just my 2 krónur

I wish I had some outtakes to post here, but trust me they really would have stunk up the place.
I submitted the one I did because unfortunately it was the best thing I could come up with this week. I know its not a perfect photograph, but I honestly belived that 2 things where very RIGHT about it. Comments are proving that I was wrong about even that....Getting so frustrated!!!!!!!

I love the third one. I hope you took the second one in color too. I think that would look great as a color photo. I think the first one would look better if there was no motion trail with the wings. |

Thanks! I've taken more shots of that spire in the last few weeks... I had one I liked better because of the cloud formations, but when I was checking it before submitting it, I found the date wrong in my camera so it was dated last month. DOH![/i]
iggy: the spire shot is fabulous! too bad about the date! but you should, if you haven't already, be selling this shot!

It''s a real couple who were sitting [i]right where I wanted to shoot from. In the end, knowing they weren''t going to move, and seeing what a great silhouette they made, I just moved back a bunch and added ''em to the image.
As to whether or not it''s a better pic than the one I submitted -- well, the one thing I''ve learned for sure on this site is: who knows? The quality on this one is better than the other (this was shot with a 5 MP work camera and my submission was shot with my .7 MP personal camera) but I wasn''t sure this pic was something that would speak to the audience here as much as what I ended up submitting.

This is a beautiful and moving picture. I really like it.

I think your outtakes are beautiful. I would be proud to post any one of them.

out-takes
Now, if I could just refrain from submitting my post before I''m done I''d be all set. Anyway, comments are appreciated.
I really like the daisy shot. Not the usual angle, and none of the background distractions that I see in a lot of flower shots other places. |

Try clicking the globe icon in the right hand corner of the reply screen, then replace the text that appears with the address of your picture and the text you want to show in the link.

I''m glad you posted that... Now I''ll try to put up a link to my outtakes...
Outtakes I hope

I really prefer to post the outtakes after the voting is done, especially since some of my outtakes tend to be very similar, but I do have this one that was a real loser.
Dead Fish
I also have another b&w photo that I really liked and I was considering going back to the same location and shooting it again.
It is here: Wicked Forest
Next week I will post some outtakes that are different angles of my same subject.

I had that "Snoopy is Groov'n" as my entry up until Sunday. But I don't like having pictures of me being judged. It just weirds me out. It's all I could do to have my eyes in the last contest. So I was happy to send this one to the "rejects" pile when a new shot presented itself. :-)

P.S.
"Rejects" used lightly... "Rejects for this site", but I like them. :-)

You are crazy to think these are rejects! I liked the piano and the person walking along the path. Have to say that the donut shot sort-a freaked me out... in a humorous, chilling sort of way!
;-)
I have my "rejects" along with some others....let's see if I can get this link to work: My Px

These are simply OTHER black and white photos I thought about entering. I tried several ideas. Liked most of them but you gotta choose something :-)
