A few extra pics

Same location, same day and less than 5 minutes apart. They are all mine. My favorite is the top one. The most difficult part of photographing sunsets in Hawaii is the colors are too vivid and tend to look fake. Hard to get a subtle sunset around here.

Don't get distracted by this until you finish judging the previous post, "Boats,"down below.

Boats

Last week that was my lonely flower and Colin took a photo of Tu being bad. Judges said I won.

Judges, we have something different for you this week. Colin and I both took a "boat" photo. We then did some editing of the photo. Then we exchanged photos and I edited Colin's and he edited mine.
So below in "comments"  judge round 1, then judge round 2. Just explain what version of the photo you liked better and maybe a few words about why. 

Round 1 - photo A

Round 1 - Photo B

Easy enough? Who won round one? Its the same photo but each of us added our own touch during the editing process.


ROUND 2

Round 2 - Photo C

Round 2 - Photo D

Judges, What photo do you like better from round 2?

And finally, What photo is overall winner? ABC or D?

Check back next week and I'll tell you who took what photo and who edited what photo. 

Fragile

As soon as I saw Colin's last picture (Splash) I was sure he had me beat. I thought it was one of the best so far of this contest. But . . . the judges thought otherwise. Guess they liked my color. I didn't waste any good whisky, that was watered down coffee I was pouring to get my splash. 

Now we are on to "Fragile."

This is the first photo yet where there could be some doubt about who took what.  So I won't tell.

Flower Winner

Splash

Colin won the last one. Guess his crowd was better. Mine was a crowd of boats. And that thing that looked like the sun was actually a streetlight. Just thought you should know.

This one we had two whole weeks to work on. And because of my being rather busy this past week (if you've seen my facebook page you'll know why) I did not get to  making the judging any easier.

So please vote below in Comments and have fun and pass it around to anyone you know who might want to be a judge.

This week "splash." Click on "comments" below to judge and for instructions on how. Click on photo for larger view.

JK WINNER

Through the Crowd

Last "FUN" group was won by Colin. Was not even close. He has that part of the pic in focus/part not thing down really well. ( the term for that is bokeh)

This week Cori was too busy to submit a photo so its back to me and Colin.

I am working on a way the  judges can just point and click to judge. This week just do it how you've been doing it and I think next week I'll have a better way.

This week Colin chose "Through the Crowd."

FUN

Colin's photo that looked like a Honda ad in GQ magazine was last weeks winner. I hope he sent it to Honda and GQ.

This week Cori picked the topic "fun."

Have fun Judges. You know what to do.

Your Car

Last week Cori was the winner with Colin close behind. Guess cute little kids trump airplanes and sunsets. Good work Cori.

Judges I also noticed that each one of us received a perfect 10. Seriously? We are looking for some constructive criticism not perfect 10s. What are you going to give us when we finally get good at this?

This week we had to take a photo of our car. No going down to the Jaguar dealer to snap a few - our own car.

The trail head parking lot at the top of Tantalus Dr.. I love taking pics in the dark. Used only the car's dome light and a small flashlight.

CK - Fit for any battle.

CM - My Car, sort of.
