Hang on.

It takes a few minutes to type in 17 options. I did it as fast as I could.

Well, I could have said it three times instead of just two. Would it have made a difference?

Nope, I still would have missed it

Really great shots guys. I would've voted for Salzkammergut, but it needs to be cropped and rotated. It's bothering me.

I really like Troubled Waters. That's seriously a quality shot.

.

I wouldn't have cropped it anymore, but I would have rotated it to get the water level and would have saturated the sky further. Still, it was one of my favorites that I voted for. The strong subject and great lighting made up for the slight technical issues.

signes · 11-13-2009, 11:26 AM

I know the water line is bothering people, it just looks wrong if I had rotated as suggested. What is confusing is that the road the houses are along goes downhill, while the water line goes away from you ("up" if you will)... Having the water shown as the "horizon line" would make everything else look odd. This is just the perspective from that location. Thanks again to those who voted.

UdubBadger · 11-13-2009, 11:56 AM

looks like we have a lead change... and the plot thickens

Wow, that surprised me.

I wonder if the comments about the waterline impacted here. I didn't mean to. I love the picture, but would also love to see it straightened. To me the houses are leaning to the right and the waterline is going downhill. Many (most?) people are pretty insensitive to geometric flaws, but they DO pop out to my eye, probably because it's the first thing I look for in my own images.

Sorry 'bout that signes.
Dave
