I didn't enter this as had just had a bad final score in another challenge and didn't think my entries were too hot. Anyway may as well post them here

@ paulsteven Nice work there. I let the scores I receive in challenges bother me a a little too and often take a break after receiving yet another 4.xxx. Hang in there! I like the first shot and think you needed just a bit more shutter to bring out the light a little more.

Here is my entry:



Here is my entry before I realized it was basic editing:



This was a 3 shot HDR at 1 stop exposures merged in Photomatix Pro and editied with PSE9 to tweak the light. I really wish I could've entered the HDR. I am now no longer a fan of basic editing. I would appreciate any comments on the outtake.

@ EL-ROI your HDR one is fantastic . I liked the other one also and gave it a 7 . but it seemed a little overexposed . now I understand why, you took it thinking of the HDR? I also like the poem...
@ paulsteven I like the top one better also . just needs better lighting and I'm not sure of the color of the background ..

Alternative: (For straight challenge)



Loved the alternative shot (was my first shot actually) but I felt the curves in the fret dot would hit my score, having seen how some shots got away with it I am not so sure, obviously happy with a top ten though ;)

TY for the feedback. It was a difficult exposure and I did have an HDR shot in mind until I found out it was basic editing, so I went with that... bad as it was.

@ Mark-A Obviouly you chose well. I didn't find anything wrong with the fret shot. I guess the dot was a circle huh? Interesting how you shot one low key, one high key.

Thanks for the feedback lola72. Yeah the background was just some pink card my daughter had left in my office so thought it may look the pasta look more interesting:)

Thanks EL-ROI - yeah 4.xxx scores suck! I have however got over it now and have a few entries on the go, one of which is doing rather well:)
