First time photo competition....

 


wellerchap
...entering my first competition tomorrow at my local Camera Club, with the following 2 pics.
I've seen the entries presented at the last comp, and the work ranged from the odd crap one to mainly very good to the odd few that were brilliant....I'm fully expecting to be in the first category with these, but they do say the best way to learn is to submit what you think are your best couple of shots & let the judge do his best to criticise, while listening & learning....in at the deep end, as it were!
The one of the countryside is a gap I ride through every day on my way home & always think there's a great photo to be had there, as it's a great vista.
Ah well, here goes!

I definitely like the first one.
The contrast of the yellow to blue is stunning.

The second one is ok. Nothing special imho. Nice frame of trees around there. But no special view. I don't know if it would be better without the electrical tower.

I like both of the pictures. Especially the 1st one. Smile

Looks really great!

Love the colours and the smoke in the first picture, really good composition. I like the framing for the second pic but it seems like it was taken midday so the colours are a lil bit washed out and the greens arent as vibrant. Nice work though and good luck!

yeah the first one is really amazing!

thanks for the comments, chaps.
I know what you mean about the second...it's probably a better view than I've made it look; I tried to get the depth (about 1 mile from point of shot to the horizon), but I think maybe my zoom lens (300mm) is not all that good?
There was a turquoise cable strung right across the middle of the original view, which screamed out loud until I Photoshopped it out, but the pylon stays! Very Happy
The power plant is at one end of my village, and the open countryside is at the other, so these shots are both familiar to me in their own ways.

Well, that was a tale of two cities!
18/20 (and joint third from about 60 entries) for the night time one.....12/20 for the countryside one (and last! Rolling Eyes ).
It was all anonymous, so no great dent to the pride, but it's certainly given me a better understanding of what's expected in these competitions.
Now, when's the next one........................?
