In the shadow

[light50]

Sometimes being in the shadow gives you the chance to see the sun more clearly...

The 2nd shot all the way for me!

[Bambi]

I'm not sure which one MA likes but I prefer #2. the shadow and the starburst really work for me.

[Wicked Dark]

Sunburst one here, too. Without it the shot is a bit too static to hold my attention. With it the bit of serendipity adds magic.

[Marko]

If the Orton was part of the poll (why isn't it?) I would have chosen it.

[light50]

Thank you all for the feed back...I am reading some interesting books about exposure, composition, PP and I am trying to shoot in various (back, front, side) lighting conditions.
I like the Orton version (was added later) the most.

I liked the Orton version as well but voted for the second which I like too!

[Matt K.]

I would have voted for the Orton version as well ... very nicely done

[light50]

Thank you all again for voting and commenting.

I really go to read what I write more closely. My mind works so much faster than my fingers. The digits get left behind sometimes.

[Iguanasan]

I voted for #2 but only because the Orton is not on the list! The Orton one, added later, is the winner out of the whole set.

[MoinMoin]

4, 2, 3, 1 is the working order for me here. So I love especially the Orton version, but I too like the sun star very!

[light50]

Thank you MA, Iguanasan and MoinMoin for your comments.

[Peter]

I like all of them but last one is interesting. Nice series.

[light50]

Thanks Peter for your kind words...

Yeah I like the Orton one, how did you treat it ?

Thank you Lion...I have absorbed all the information I needed from Podcast 67-Orton Imagery (http://www.photography.ca/blog/2009/06/03/67-orton-imagery-the-orton-effect-interview-with-michael-orton-and-darwin-wiggett/). Check it out and I am sure that you will find it very useful.

[Lion]

I will look at it !
I skiped this one thinking it was talking about an dark advanced notion of optic, it was oviously a mistake ! (No that I'm thinking about it, I don't remember Marko doing that kind of podcasts...funny Idea I had ;p)
