All right yer knocking yer brains out in over thinking this situation. Particularly when you have a very fine...... "some tourist operators would die to have a shot as well done as the two guys in the boat!" And sunset!

1/ The two guys in the boat on the first take really wasn't any problem at all. It "FELT VERY VERY COMFY!" Nice warm light! And it's highly unlikely your town council would know whether they were making a good, bad or ugly decision and wouldn't honestly know whether it was a "good, bad or ugly photograph?"

Town council committees..... "read committees of any kind" are generally a bloody waste of time! Simply because most? If not all, don't have one ounce of design art sense and crowd drawing ability in liking it or not! ERGO: A disaster decision at best regardless of how many of us with our photographic sense of design and composition thought it a smashing good photograph!"

2/  BENCH PHOTO!
My God it's a smashing good photograph with all the goodies! This should, without question, sell Logan Lake as a destination location for comfort, fishing, nice times. More importantly! Nice quiet times away from the maddening world while sitting quietly on a bench, lake side!"

Like how much better can it get? Leave it be! Partly because I bet a million no matter what photo you show them, some guy isn't going to like it! OR? Someone wont be all that hot about it and make an unskilled pain in the ass comment about your abilities as a very talented sharp eyed photographer!

Then make some kind of stupid suggestion, "the picture should be taken at high-noon!" Which of course is the worst possible light one could imagine!"

Make a 13X19 print of the bench shot, walk in like you own the place and say....... "Gentlemen here it is! The Logan Lake Magical Moment!" Don't bat an eye, stand tall and stare down the first stupid inept council person who opens their mouth with a negative comment!
AND DON'T BAT AN EYE! :-)

Stand tall David!!!! The bench shot is a beauty and give not a second thought about shooting anything else! :-)

I mean you could shoot a different scene 365 days and not satisfy the council! Therefore walk in with an absolute winner and cold clock them where they sit without batting an eye!

OK me son! GET ON WITH IT!

cheers,
Dr. ted
