These were all taken on the Boat Harbour venture.

They are my attempt to turn mediocre photos into something different and hopefully give them some punch.






















As you can probably tell, I couldn't decide between desaturated and extra saturated for most of them. I think I prefer the colour versions.

I think I prefer colour too.

Shouldn't you be studying???

The first one is still an ordinary shot (sorry). The one of the boat I like the colour, but think your original must have been OK too. The last one of those boys diving into the water looks best in B &W.

I agree with the first one being a crap shot actually. Often when I PP I choose a few that when I look at again in an hour I realise just arn't up to scratch.
After having looking at them more, my liking for the shots is: Boat in colour, first two of the kids in colour and the last of the kids in black and white.

WRT: I figure it's best to have a proper break rather than just staring aimlessly at the page, as happens after too long.

That first diver shot was a decisive moment. By displaying it on the forum you just lost yourself a D70s. To make matters worse...I have a similar shot and now I can't use it for the comp either. Curse you again Baron Von Pippin!

Do you really think so Matt?

If the kid hadn't been blurred I might consider it so, but I didn't think it good enough as it was. (And with the alterations, would it have been acceptable?)

A bit of blur would be acceptable in that kind of image...and you will kick yourself if an inferior image takes first prize. I think it had a chance.
