**Newest Update** I got them all turned into the fair. It was an interesting experience, and a lot of fun. I’ll tell you all about it, and which ones I ultimately submitted as soon as I can. Thanks for everyone who gave me opinions! I really appreciate it!!
*Update* Thank you to everyone who has voted so far! I’ve decided to go with the first lily picture for ‘nature’. It printed really well. When I got the ferris wheel printed, it just didn’t look as good. Something didn’t translate very well, so that one’s out. So now it’s between the cars and the veggies. I see the artisticness of the veggies, and that’s overwhelmingly what people voted for, but I kind of like the cars better. I know it’s hard to compare, it’s kind of like apples and oranges, but somebody help me with what’s not so good about the cars…nobody voted for it. :)***
Alright, I’m sorry I haven’t posted much lately. I guess my heart just hasn’t been in it. And I haven’t had much to say. But I need your help now. I’ve procrastinated on my entries to the fair. I’ve picked out the quilt, and the Christmas pillow, but not the photos. It’s almost midnight, and I have to go turn my entries in tomorrow. We’ve narrowed it down to the top 2 or 3 in the 2 categories I’m entering. That’s where you come in…
Just a quick vote on which you like the best would be so helpful! Then when I get up in the morning, I’ll make a final decision, get them printed and matted, and take them to the fairgrounds. Sound good? I know there’s not a lot of time for everyone to get to this post and see it, but that’s what I get for waiting until the last minute. I have no idea who is doing the judging, or what criteria they’re going by…
The top 3 choices for ‘scenic’ category: (I’d print them all off to be about the same size, so don’t let that throw you off)
And then the top 2 choices for ‘Nature’ category:
Oh Sadie, you did not make this easy at all. They are all gorgeous. If I absolutely, positively had to choose, it would be:
scenic – veggies – those colors are are popping and it’s unusual.
nature – first one – the colors are more vibrant and varied. There’s a hint of yellow in there but it’s subtle.
Whichever ones you enter, you will have done yourself proud. Good luck.
Well, I am not very qualified, but I AM awake, so here’s my opinion: I LOVE the one with the vegetables! Second choice is the Ferris Wheel, and last the street shot. It’s nice, but the others jumped out at me more.
As for the flowers, that one is harder to choose. I think the lily. It seems to glow a little more, although the other (double hibiscus?) looks velvety.
Now take that with a grain of salt! I bow to all other’s opinions!
I love the ferris wheel pic as it gives you the sense of height and movement, and I love the darker pink flower….very vibrant!
Good luck!

The veggies and the ruffled lily (second one) I love lilies and you can find lots of photos of mine on my blog.
Good Luck whichever choice you make.
The ferris wheel, veggies and the lily.
You did not make it easy. I love them all. But I think I like the first lily and the vegetables best. The ferris wheel is a close second.
Maybe it’s that the cars is something that is familiar and the veggies are not? Not that veggies are not familiar but the photograph itself captures something different somehow. I’m hard pressed to explain it. A picture is worth a thousand words!
If you like the car photo, I would go with that one. Trust your instincts.
Good luck.
