Yes, another one of those 'help me pick pictures for a contest' threads. :)
I'm trying to decide what to enter for our county fair, and my mom says to pick the shots NOW so we can go get them framed later today. (I hate making decisions--this is stressing me out!) So, I have a few hours to decide. In the juniors, there are three categories in colour and three categories in black and white: portraiture, scenic and general.
I think I have my black and whites picked:

portraiture

scenic

general (not too sure if this will be considered a 'portrait' though)

And then I have no clue what to submit for the colour thing. If anyone has any extra time on their hands, and would like to help me (*bats eyelashes*) I would be extremely grateful if you'd take a look through my portfolio and give me some ideas as to what I should do...I think maybe this one for colour portraits:

but haven't gotten any farther than that.

So yeah. Thanks so so much guys! :)

I agree with your choice of the colour photo! That is a really nice image!

Thanks...I think I will end up submitting that for portrait, but not sure about the other colour shots. :)

Lol, thanks for the comments, Ken! The problem with the colour fence shot, is that it's exactly the same as my b & w scenic shot, just in colour.
Maybe I'll submit the cow, though. ;)

Doh! That's what I get for not paying attention. How about one you like:

The full size shot is noisy though and I don't have NeatImage. :(
