SLR Lounge Vs. Fstoppers Part II: Lee’s Revenge - Men’s Fitness Photography 

Pye, easily. Not only in terms of the photography but also in the way he conducted himself. I don't care whether Lee's behaviour was just put on for "entertainment" or not, he made most of this episode uncomfortable to watch.

I preferred all of Lee's images... before the post

I know why Lee has been losing towards these competitions often, and he will continue losing all other competitions to come, unless he changes. Lee should work on below 3 areas that will make him win these competitions(mark the word "WIN" I dnt mean he aint a pro) 1. Its obvios that Lee views all images on proffesional point of view, of which is totally wrong some images can be so appealing to the eyes that the viewer is drawn so deep to the image. Why am saying this? Ive had clients in the past when I show them my portfolio of images that I think are so proffesional they tend not to like them so much and they end up to like the ones that I find had major erros those that I was even scared to show them in first place. Since then I learnt a big lesson in photography. 2. Lee is a great photographer, but to win a competition that will be judged by other photographers, who may be different level in their photography career or may not be photographers at all, you need to put aside your expertise and try to step on a viwers perspective, and ask yourself what would the viewer be attracted to? You may not like the image but u might be suprised on how other ppo will like it. Example in this competition if u look at Pye's images they ddnt win bcz they were great... any pro would see so many erros on those images but we understand they were taken under pressure. Then why did he win and u lost? Simple his images pop there was clear dedefinition between highligts and shadows... ur images had good composition but flat... Its difficult someone's eye to be directed on those images... even before I reached the part of results had already known Pye would win... same to the other video of real estate. 3.You know so much about photography, but you cant apply all you know in a timed competition like this, relax, learn and take charge. Find that one skill that would make you win.Dont over complicate your images especially in post process. Example The 1st image you took was already a winning image but after post-process it came out a different image. Otherwise the video was really entertaining and educative at the same time. Was laughing the whole time while watching it

I just enjoy learning from you both. Keep up the good work so I can keep learning from the best

Lee won to be honest. Pye views images from the perspective of a viewer, but Lee from the perspective of a photographer or a professional. Might be the same reason Pye is good at weddings.

Haha, I had installed f.lux one day on my computer (helps dim and warm the screen at night to help you sleep better if you use a comp late). A few weeks later, I had been editing in LR one evening, and kept cooling the shots. Thought they looked pretty good. Then the next morning I looked at them, and though "God, what was I doing last night. These are so cold". Then remembered f.lux was probably on. I wonder if this happened to Lee. hahaha. He also might be colorblind. :-D

Lol, John I don't know that I can handle it. This was one of the most stressful shoots of my life, and yes, some of my worst images too!

@@payamjirsa Lee had his A-game going on the trash talking side for sure. :) I recently got caught up in something similar, but thankfully I didnt have to show my results to 400k people and be judged. Stress free :) Thanks so much for enduring such pain for our pleasure.

It's not fair.

PyeJirsa will there be a part 3?

lol, surprised you felt like Lee was off-balance. I felt like I was the one dismantled.

@@payamjirsa but you still kept doing your thing and your post was solid!
