Something about #3 Sliverax stands out to me. The cabon fiber weave looks fantastic and a very nice background as well. Everything kind of flows off to the upper left hand corner in symmetry.
Re: 2018 Calendar Contest - Please Help Me Decide
3,6,18 & 19. Whew! Anyway, I like those best for composition and knife image clarity. Nice shots.
I was wondering if this thread was going to happen this year. :cool:

They're all beautiful pictures. There's something I really like about #15. I think it's the positioning and the lighting.
Re: 2018 Calendar Contest - Please Help Me Decide
lots of good images, but 6 stands out to me.
keep your knife sharp and your focus sharper.

Some great shots, Sharp Guy!
My vote goes to #5, definitely my favorite composition of the bunch! My only recommendation would be to remove the watermarks before you submit your final entry.

The pic I submit won't have the watermark.
Thanks for all your input so far

Re: 2018 Calendar Contest - Please Help Me Decide
I like how the lines in the stone play off of the lines of the panels of #1
Great work on all of them!

#5 but without the sky.
Re: 2018 Calendar Contest - Please Help Me Decide
They are all fantastic shots. I can see why you’re having trouble deciding. I vote # 10.

18 for me. I'd add some blur to the top above the rocks to smooth out that bokeh, and possibly desaturate the blade. Maybe clone out the stick under the choil.
Re: 2018 Calendar Contest - Please Help Me Decide
18 as it is.
20 -maybe- if you can fix the colors up and make the knife pop more. Too washed as it is now but I like the background and knife you chose.

Early this morning I thought I had it narrowed down to 3 or 4 pics. The last 8 posts have me second guessing things.
It turns out that having the forum decide on a picture isn't much different than asking which knife to buy or what steel is best. :)
