OK... Here are my reject photos for the "THREE" Challenge:
Critique please... Click for bigger pics...<table width=400 border=1> <tr><td>Image</td><td>Three Towers... Rejected coz I thought it looked far far too much like Rokstar's winning entry in the previous comp...</td></tr>

<tr><td>Three Llamas - While these were rolling around in the dust they still didn't make for a very interesting photo in the end...</td><td>Image</td></tr>

<tr><td>Image</td><td>Moment of Awe - When will we be good enough to skate with the big kids???
Who knows... Maybe I should have submitted this one...</td></tr>

<tr><td>Three Palms - A snap of some Palm trees as a reserve</td><td>Image</td></tr><tr><td>Image</td><td>I thought that this one was far too corny!!!</td></tr>
</table>

1, 3 and 5 all do it for me. Agree with your comments about 1, but it's still a great shot. The composition in 3 and 5 is great, perhaps a bit tighter crop in 5? Well done! :)

Edit: P.S. your post count is rather devilish at the moment, if you never post again we'll know why! :twisted:

I actually like #5 the best even though it is a bit 'corny'. Nice work

I hope I don't sound too harsh but I find these all a little too literal. I think there are some nice shots (1 and 5 in particular) but for a comp like this I think a straight "3 x object" would have to knock people's socks off..

Please remember this is just my opinion! Sorry if i've stood on your toes.

Liam =] PS - insert withdrawal clause here in case every turns on me!!

DISCLAIMER: LAME ATTEMPT AT HUMOUR FOLLOWS:

Beetleboy,
You may be right. If the topic of the current challenge was "4" , it may be easier to think outside the square :shock:

John, that doesn't even come a close second to my dad's lame humour so you're pretty safe there!!

Example: last night he said there wasn't "mush-room" on our pizza's for mushrooms! And that's one of his greatest ever performances!

Liam =] PS - pity me!

Everyone's entitled to an opinion... and to a personal interpretation...

Maybe that's why these were my rejects...

Good point Leek!

In hindsight I think No. 1 may have actually had a chance..It's really growing on me and I think I felt my socks working their way off!!

Well, as the great Lonnie Donegan sang -

My dustbin's full of toadstools!
How do you know it's full?
Cos there ain't mushroom inside!!

Groan....
