My 50mm Challenge

I'm participating in a 50mm lens contest amongst some friends. Shot a couple that I would love some C & C on if you feel so inclined. Thanks!

the second one is pretty cool, and it look like you nailed the focus, except i would have given it a bit more room up top and played with the b&w conversion a bit more.

in #1 the tree on the left is a bit distracting, but that looks like a cool subject

with #2, really good, but agreed about giving it some more room at the top

#2 is my favorite.

I like No.1 the best. The tree outside is a bit distracting.You might could lasso the door frame and tone it down some with a levels adjustment.

Thanks for your critiques and comments! #2 is not a crop but I do have others I shot at that time so I'll see if I have one with more headroom, so to speak. Also will try some correction on the doorway and see what that gets me and post the results soon.

for some reason shot 1 just doesn't work for me. it poses the question though if you are all shooting on digital or some on film. I use my 28mm or 35mm lenses as a 50mm substitute when shooting digital given the conversion factor.
