I am submitting one of these as part of a series of six. I can't decide which one to submit!

#2 is a crop is it not? It appears to suffer from degraded IQ. I can't pick out a focused point. It would have been better shot at that aspect, instead of cropped out of the larger frame.
#1 is better, as a complete image. The extreme right is cut off the island, but that's my only real critique. Placing the Kiter in the left side of the image would help. I think as it creates a stronger composition to have the subject entering the frame as it were, rather that exiting. In making a final selection between the two it might help to know the context in to which it is going to fit.

Thanks for the input. IQ is an issue because I did not want to post a great copy. I was more interested in feedback on the composition and aspects other than IQ.

Which is the subject for the submission - the skier or the complex (Alcatraz?)? - Terry

Understandable, however IQ is going to be one of the first things someone is likely to pick up. My opinion is that for critical purposes a good quality image with a watermark is probably better than a marginal image.

The subject is the boarder but not this specific one. They are looking for unique backgrounds.

Thanks. I need to develop a watermark that I'm more comfortable with. The one I use now isn't that great.

I like the first one over the second.. I think the ugly water tower stands out too much in the cropped version, plus there's nice sky in the full version

[Chris350]

go with # 1 it's a more appropriate treatment of a unique background.
