redangel Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I need to choose one of these pics for submission for club shot of child under 12. Which one? I thought Id go to a bigger forum than my me & my computer. or I will add what I think after some comments. Thanks for input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOE Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 i pick the little fellow the other photo is lovely but a child poking their tongue out is not my cup of tea only my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadbury Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 The first one IMO because it is cheeky, blue eyes are a delight and it is a nice close up shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Fiendish child #1 for me :laugh: better composition imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Both great shots, I think number one as well! Too cute!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juddabug Whippets Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Number one here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tralee Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Number two. It's an ambitious pose, and has a great underlying suggestion of story. Number one is just plain offensive, .. Px Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redangel Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Thanks for the replys so far. My take: I like the second one because of the eye contact factor. I like the lil ones ambition to be a driver. He is proud of himself! On first viewing I liked the first one but I admit to me it represents a defiant child, which riles me up a little (ie none of my kids would poke their tongue out) That being said it has a naughty cute factor. But thus far my concern would be if the naughtiness is so to distract from actually "liking" the photo eg... under critique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I think I like the first one better as a photo in terms of colour and composition but I don't like the tongue either. I like the second one for subject. But that would be the "conservative" option if it was a photo competition / club in my opinion. There's nothing like being slightly confronting to stand out in a photo competition. One that is for arts sake not some pet food marketing company promotion. If it's for something the child is involved in, I like the second one. Toss a coin. If you like the way the coin lands - that's your choice. If you don't like the way the coin lands, choose the other photo. Eg Heads for Blue, Tails for Tongue. My two cents - Tails, Heads, Heads. Ie I didn't like the first toss. But I can be a bit risk adverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originally said the first but this is how I now feel and as you have said about the second, it's cute, his ambition, so I'll change my vote to #2 now.
