Head2Head Competition Week 47 - Closed

[SlipZtrEm]

.

Last week's winner, SlipZtrEm, provides the theme:

Since we're finally back, why not keep it simple? You can't
avoid choosing a side this week; it all depends on your
picture orientation!

All, Photo Travel included.

There will be two polls at the beginning of every week.
Each poll will have a top ten for that "competitor".
These polls will last for five days.
A final poll containing the winners from both polls will last 2 days.
You must post your final entry in red letters, ex. “Final Entry”.
Previews may be used, but may be no bigger than 300*400 pixels.
You may have two HM's if a preview image is not used.
You may change your Final Entry once (make it clear you did).
Edit out your original entry, or make it clear it is no longer "Final".
Do not use an entry from a previous competition.
Only one entry may be submitted, and it must be uploaded using Imageshack.
Photo-editing adjustments allowed:
Brightness/Contrast/Levels
Colour/Saturation adjustments
Cropping/Resizing
Blur/Sharpen adjustments
Smoothing/Smudging adjustments

Nice
I'm in, Slip. 👍

 

[D-Mind]

Could you explain these themes more?
Good to see this back 👍

 

[NTX]

Slipz great comps are back, and with a cool theme:tup:

Could you explain these themes more?
Good to see this back 👍

I think it means Portrait pictures or landscape pictures. You know... in a word document you can set the page to be landscape or portrait. I think thats what it means if so then I have the perfect shots for them....

I thought I had the theme figured out, but speedster's post left me in doubt.

Is it possible to explain in more detail what exactly is intended?

I saw this as "car's portraits" vs "shots of landscapes - sceneries" - is this right?


atlop - beautiful blur and tones 👍

 

[Speedster502]

I am completely confused now we want a explaination!!

 

[NTX]

I think that the format its the only thing that matter´s. I guess U are free to put anything U wanna in the picture:tup:

 

[Beerz]

Yeah, maybe you're right.

Under the theme says :"It all depends on your picture orientation", so I'm guessing it's just a matter of horizontal vs vertical.

 

[alexwrc]

Atlop, you ROCKS. About the theme, we are able to enter anything then... like a free theme week. Of course, any shot can be vertical or horizontal

I'm not that pleased with the cleanup on this, but I am pleased with the composition and the brightness of the colours.

Woah, that's a stunner! You've really interpreted the theme well there, and the colour balance across the image is spot on. If that small watermark weren't there it would be perfect! 👍

 

[Tangled Web]

Great to have this comp back, I will be sure to enter. Love the theme. 👍
So many awesome shots already, this is going to be a tough one.

Thanks for the comment, I didn't really care about the watermark but if that's necessary to win, let's do it !

Final Entry Changed to THIS one ​

 

[franz]

It's beautiful 👍
you stitched two images together? and you have a landscape photo with portrait preview?!?

 

[alexwrc]

It's beautiful 👍
you stitched two images together?

Thanks hehe. Three to be more exact. And vigneting (Sp?) sucks.

...and you have a landscape photo with portrait preview?!?

Mmm . That's like wildmultiblur, understandable

[dmanbluesfreak]

I would make the preview just a smaller version of the full-size. Don't crop it as some people dont look at the full size. But that certainly is an amazing shot - its so clean!

That shot is beautiful man. It's like the sun is setting. YOU have my vote for sure.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Well, I suppose this brings up yet another discussion, since I did mention it in the "enlarging rims" thread (and the H2H rules follow 2.0 ones):

What's everyone's opinion on stitched-together, super-wide shots? Are we going to also allow them as well?

No matter what though, Alex, that is a stunning shot!

Wow alex, that shot is amazing. Love the colour and lighting, perfect level of noise too. 👍
