Thought I'd share a couple of shots taken originally to enter into Challenge 5, but I wasn't confident enough in them so they were put on the back-burner....obviously, these were also "set-up"

I would be interested to hear what people think of these 2 pics:

I look forward to hearing your comments

I also thought it interesting that both these "themes" were submitted by other people as well...which made me laugh. I was also going to do something with dominos and a similar idea to the bird swooping for it's prey (except I was going to use a snake and a rat).

I really like these because they don't appear overtly set-up. I think they are really good.

Does everyone think that this is what the intended theme should have brought?

Dave,
I love these aspects! real things + stories, you deserve a winning place. :lol:

Number one looks really natural, but for me #2 looks contrived. SO far as decisive moments - yes #2 is, but for me #1 is not. #1 would be decisive if the guy was about to run into something because he's looking at her! BTW _ you have some very obliging friends given the modelling duties.

Second shot looks like really decisive moment

If I'd managed to take similar photo I'd put it to the competition

Great pics Dave - but I reiterate my earlier posts re Bresson setting up many of his shots too!

#1 has, IMO, more of a dm about it than #2, and yet #2 is more in-line with the concept within the minds eye

Hi Stubbsy
obviously, the branch on the running track, in front of the guy, does not stand out enough ??

:roll:

It's a good thing I didn't enter it then :!:

From the dude who entered a "will you marry me" photo # 2 is great

...and an excellent decisive moment
