Not sure which one I prefer.. I'm leaning towards the second image.



This image has minimum sat added, the CPL created the deep blue.



Please feel free to C&C.

Nope! I prefer the first one because the colours are more vivid.

There's something creepy about the second, but the first is more filling.

I'm not sure, Paul. What's the reason for the shot?

I saw this telegraph pole at a set of traffic lights a few months ago and it has about 500 to a 1000 nails and screws in it from various posters/adverts and thought it would be a great picture.
So today I just so happened to be passing and went for it, unfortunatly I'm not happy with those shots, I then walked around the pole and voila I saw the serial number for the Hel$tra techs to identify it.
From there on it was just a matter of clicking a few frames off and a small amount of correction in NX.
I'll re visit it again later with the tripod to get the nail/screw shot.

I definitely prefer the first. It jumps out at you.

for me both shots fall down with the inclusion of the back ground as you are drawn away from the main subject so I would have preferred just the pole with numbers and nails
to get this you would have to reposition more to the right, but then you would lose the nice angle...not going to be easy to make me happy

i think its a good phoot because of the tonal range the yellowworks with all the other complimentary colours and the dof is thoughtfully considered

it also has an unusual darkness to it probably by using faster shutterspeeds
so i like the mood

2nd one is slightly more interesting because it has more relational depth showing lampost against sky, even though the first one obviously jumps out cos the dof

The first one really jumps out at you with the detail and vividness of the digits.

I can't say I'm in love with the 2nd one but it is quite interesting with the tones and contrast between the detail of the lamp post and digits which conflicts with the smooth OOF background.
