PierreB Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · Competition help please Hi everyone I am looking to enter a competition where the theme is speed / movement. I've picked out these four - what do you think? These are all saved in ProPhoto colour space so might look strange on some monitors but the competition is running in a print magazine so I thought it was the best option. All originals are 5000+ pixels wide. Thanks for looking. Pierre. First two.   Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III    400 mm    f/6.3    1/100 sec    200 ISO    0.0 EV     Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III    400 mm    f/13.0    1/125 sec    200 ISO    0.0 EV   Edited on Nov 10, 2009 at 11:11 AM · View previous versions Nov 10, 2009 at 11:07 AM

WOW - those colours look completely flat!   Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III    400 mm    f/6.3    1/100 sec    200 ISO    0.0 EV     Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III    400 mm    f/11.0    1/50 sec    200 ISO    0.0 EV   Nov 10, 2009 at 11:10 AM

chas Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #3 · Competition help please #2. Closer crop, the riders body position and angle brings more "tension" into the picture, the board and the sail are sharper than the others, and the color is the best......IMHO. Chas Nov 10, 2009 at 11:29 AM

mactuna Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · Competition help please I just love #1. I think #2 is too close to see the movement and #4 too far away. Nov 10, 2009 at 12:35 PM

Bob Jarman Online Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #5 · Competition help please Color is far better (at least on this monitor) in #1 & 2, but horizon has a magenta cast? Might try to recover some highlight detail in his shirt.. my 2¢ Bob Nov 10, 2009 at 01:16 PM

Chas Thanks for your input Chas. I also prefer the tighter crop of 1 & 2 although I think I prefer #1. Having said that, #2 has already been used for a magazine front cover so perhaps it's not so bad. I'm not too concerned with the colour as shown here. As they are not in sRGB colour space, they look very strange and do not really resemble the printed copies. Pierre. Nov 10, 2009 at 01:50 PM

Might try to recover some highlight detail in his shirt.. my 2¢ Bob Whilst I agree that the colour is is not too good on these, the 'magenta cast' on the horizon is just the deeper water further out to sea. In shore, the seabed is sandy but there is a drop off a few hundred metres offshore. I'll try and pull a bit more out of that shirt - thanks. Pierre. Nov 10, 2009 at 02:09 PM

sbeme Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #9 · Competition help please Yeah, more detail in the shirt. I prefer one over two, but both are dynamic compositions. Scott Nov 10, 2009 at 03:41 PM

PierreB Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #10 · Competition help please Here's a full rez crop out of the first one with more detail in the shirt. I don't think I can or need to recover any more than this. The shirt is white after all and it was a very bright day on a white sandy beach on a small Greek island in the middle of summer. It is what it is - a white shirt in the sun! Nov 10, 2009 at 04:47 PM

sbeme Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #11 · Competition help please Its fine. I think the second one was more blown out. Nov 10, 2009 at 05:02 PM

Bob Jarman Online Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #12 · Competition help please Looks good to me... Nov 10, 2009 at 05:16 PM

PierreB Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #13 · Competition help please I'm going to send in the first one but I'm still undecided about the colour space. It makes such a huge difference to how it looks on the screen. I'm guessing that they will look through all the submissions in Lr, Aperture or something similar so sRGB might be the best option. Thanks for all your help everyone. Pierre. Nov 10, 2009 at 05:31 PM
