which one should i get?

[jabumbo]

i want to get one of these pictures blown up and framed to some extent to hang on my wall, but i'm not sure which one i want to get. all 3 were taken when i went to chicago last year. i have a thing for structural steel, so this is what i like....

so help me pick


picture 1 - sears tower

picture 2 - closer shot of sears

picture 3 - street corner

[Tzar]

first vote and first post...
yeah.. my vote goes to the second one.

[miss soul fire]

Number 2!

[synch]

2

[wanton wench]

number 2 is a great picture!
but if you could get rid of the person in number 3, that would be a good picture!

[Matt]

fuck you guys

number 1

[Tungtvann]

Number 1. I like the contrasting buildings and it has a nice aspect. 2 is nice also though.

[jabumbo]

it appears number 2 is winning so far...



i still have to find a place to get it done

go with the second one, you know you want to. it's cool as hell. the third is close behind tho'.

[TurdBerglar]

the third one is too blurry and will look like shit when it's blown up

[fucktopgirl]

none of the above,,take another one!

[ms.peachy]

The third one will not work if you blow it up. It is not a clear enough shot to withstand the increase, and not unfocussed enough to look impressionistic - in other words, it will just look a bit crap.

Number one will look a bit washed out and grainy if you increase the size.

So, that leaves two, which is a nice photo; however, I would talk to the folks at the photo place and see if they can offset it - I think it would look better with less right angles.

edit - no I changed my mind about that last bit, when I picked up my computer and held it sideways instead of just tilting my head, it looked fine. BUT, I do think that number 1 is actually the more interesting stuff, so if the place you want to have it done can adjust the light and colour a bit (or if you can do it yourself on the computer) so it's a bit more intense, it will look better enlarged.

No, fuck YOU.

#2

The first one would look stupid blown up and the third is too blurry like Turd said.

[CrankItUp!]

pic 2 is pretty cool.

yeah, i was assuming that once i put it in a frame, i could hang it whichever way pleases me the most...


maybe i will play around with the first one to see what i can do. i like that perspective best, but i see what you mean about being a little light

[sam i am]

#1 is by far the best.

[paul jones]

no 1

but a big poster of a porn woman all lubed up ramming some huge dildo up her hole would be better

HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rock]

#3 is was my first choice but the blowup factor may make it look like a #2.
#2 would be my second choice, because I'm all about #2.

[CJM]

i like #3. #1 would be my second choice.

[Bob]

#1, no question

#2 seems to be winning, which is unfortunate, but i will agree that #3 is the worst of the three

not that it's bad, it's just the worst

[befsquire]

if #1 were in black and white, i'd pick it. but it isn't. so i'm going with #2.

[cosmo105]

those are all kind of badly framed shots, i wouldn't choose any of them

i mean, if you cropped #1 closer so noting else is clutterring up the shot, maybe.

[CJM]

i think everything else in the shot helps make the picture look more intense. i would have chosen that one, had it not been for the fact i wouldn't have a picture of a US building on my wall.
