Just posted my last pic for April, but one of these nearly got its spot.

I love the colours and the clarity in that second one.

My reject for April.

Looking at these photos, i can't see what's wrong with them. On what basis do you reject a photo?

Only two photos per month are allowed for the challenge, so you have to be quite objective about which photos you want to post. Yes, these are some very good photos, but generally the ones that are posted in the other thread are the better ones. You usually just get a 'feel' for what looks better, be it through subject, appearance, composition, etc...

'Course, there's always the eenie, meeny, miny moe method...

Wow, Cul, I don't know if that wheel one is better than the other one.... I LOVE it! Tough job you had deciding which one to pick.

As for me, sometimes it's hard to pick a shot to use for the challenge, but only because I take so many if I go out to the Lakes (assuming I can use one of those in the challenge). If I don't have a lot of time to upload a shot, though, it makes the job easier because I won't have taken as many photos in the timescale I have left before the challenge closes.


And... since I didn't make the deadline this month, here's what I would've had to pick from (which were the shots I wanted to upload for the challenge):
