No, you made a good choice! MY choices always score lower! ;)

The EXIF says 1/1.4 seconds (on my entry, this one was 1 second). I used a cable release. I meant to use the bulb setting, but I just used the manual exposure program. |

My Free Study was actually a "take-out" from the Silhouettes challenge, in which it was originally entered -- but I decided I'd rather enter the Scenes challenge, and it probably was my "best" picture of the month ...

Entry:  other version: 
It might have done better as a sepia..... maybe I flopped between the two for a while! would love to know yur thoughts.
Either way I was thrilled to have been able to even get the pics and be albe to share them.
Not easy to get access to an underground mine, even harder to get a photo permit. Then the several hours of safety classes and when you finally get down the its dark!! (big surprise) then the machinery makes the ground shake..... I got lucky - they took a few minutes to sdjust something and turned off the shearer and conveyer chain long enough for me to get something decent. All the comments are pretty much right on, if I get to go again I'll work on it but may not have much luck since the ground does shake and that greatly reduces exposure time and DOF! Thanks you to the few who REALLY knew how hard a photo this was to get!
Also the DPC resize really killed much of the detail and made it look even less sharp. Looks great as an 8x12... my tour guide loved it!

I saw your comment about the mine topic in a thread... would love if you could point the way to me I missed it and couldn't find it and didn't want to PM during the challenge.
Yes, not easy... a guy I know that has horses (big surprise there) is one of the employees at the mine.... I stumbled upon this info months ago and he told me I could see it. Just happened that he took me on the tour during the free study.

It was a post in this thread on commercial photography.

Are you (planning) to support yourself with this or is this a part-time freelance opportunity? Have you rented a studio or are you working out of your home/car?
Ultimately, the amswer is whatever you (think you) can get the client to pay. |
I found it interesting because it was just a hypothetical example I thought of ... before I saw your picture. : ) |

Did I enter the wrong picture?
My entry... 5.5
Photos it beat out... in my mind at least.

I stayed away from the gorillas as I've done that twice. Probably should have anyway. They're my favorite... |

Submitted  Orginal 
A few outtakes from the same shoot but were never considered once over the one I submitted.

Could not decide between this
and this
I liked the first photo better but thought the second would score higher. So, finally submitted the two girls and got a mediocre 5.5 score. Oh well...

 my entry
 my outtake
I had already entered the outtake the night before the challenge closed. On August 31 I took the photo which became my entry, but was unsure which would do better. I'm still not sure.

I like your entry the best of those.
But they all share the same issue of focus in a very narrow DOF. None of them nails the focus on the primary subject for me. I know it's very hard to get it dead on, but when you figure it out, you're going to be formidable!
I voted your entry a 6 because it was very good. With spot-on focus, it would've been at least 2 points higher, maybe more. |

What you entered is better imo. It was one of my fav entries in the challenge.
edit: re your comments, you could enter a photo of the sun and someone on this site would claim the picture is too dark. i wouldn't get hung up about it.

What I didn't enter.
What I did.
I think I'd have done better to stay home.

| This sucks. I actually have outtakes for a change and I'm a grey shirt all of the sudden. Guess I'll have to post them up later this week... |

Hey everyone. I'd really like to know which of the following three anyone would have chose. I chose the one of my friend's son because it was so special to me, and his family, but i think i made the wrong choice, since it was such a copied pose. Comments/ Suggestions are GREATLY appreciated:
Entry:
Entry Outtake #1
Entry Outtake #2
thanks!
