Best Photo Ever

If you happen to be in my photography class, stop reading. Give this post a miss. You’re not supposed to see these yet. You know why.

So my mid-term assignment for photography is to print and matte my best photo ever. I’ve narrowed it down to seven and I need opinions. Help a guy out. Here are the nominees:

Butterfly

Flutterby

Khan

Khan

Little Bug

Little Bug

Devin

Low Devin

Gate at Sunset

Night Gate

Old Tucson Water Wheel

Water Wheel

Wing over Tucson

Wings over Tucson

These are all cropped and lightly re-touched, but which ever one I hand in will get a less subtle re-touching to make it look great (the butterfly, for example, I’m going to do what I did with it in that little how-to I posted a couple weeks ago). I just can’t decide which one to use. I started with something like 400 photos, narrowed it down to 30 pretty easily, then got it down to these 7 after much deliberation. Now I just need some help narrowing it down further. I have to hand this in next Wednesday, so the sooner I hear from you, the more useful your input will be. Thanks!

  1. I like "Devin" and "Gate at Sunset". Actually, I like them all but those two are my favorites. If I had to choose only one I think it would be "Devin".

  2. Tough choice. I'd have to go with Devin because of the way he pops out of that dark background so well.

  3. So I went with the airplane one, but I wish I hadn't. I should have gone with Devin. The airplane is a cool shot, but it doesn't really illustrate that I'm a good photographer: just that I know an interesting subject when I see it. Whereas the shot of Devin says "I know how to shoot people." The butterfly would have been a good choice too, but says more about my skill with Photoshop than my skill with a camera.
