I don't normally moan about how I should have entered the OTHER photo, but this time I think I made the wrong choice?
entered this :

instead of this:

I think I'd have to agree, the second image is a lot more powerful and I would probably have marked it higher. I've made this mistake more than once though, so you're not alone.

It still did better than my 283rd I bet

I kinda like the top one more...

There is something a touch muddier with the bottom one. Certain aspects excel, but I think a lot of the DPC voters would have knocked other aspects. I imagine they'd have done very similarly. I think the bottom has both greater strengths and greater weaknesses than the top.

Hope that made sense?

Yes it does, I felt the same. That's why I couldn't decide so that makes me feel better! Thanks

I've found that "clarity" is one of the most important scoring aspects.

I've seen that my perfect clarity, strong focus with minimal blurring but boring/common photo entries score decent. Much better than my ultra-creative ones that are imperfect photographs but great endeavors.

So in my opinion...you submitted the right one for voting. But it was definitely good to share the outtake.

I prefer your outtake, but I really needed to see both side by side.
On their own, I think they would have received very similar scores.

I prefer your outtake as well...

my problem with the original was the star filter... WAY too much, would have been better without it IMO.

I agree clarity is important for high scores but so is 'wow' factor, and the outtake has more imo. Anyway, thanks for the replies everybody, this has been useful!

Edit: I'm way too slow. just like to say that I didn't use a star filter, the small aperture (8) caused the star effect but I agree it's not the best ;) I wanted a long exposure so it had to be f8... Need a ND filter
