		| | My other hobby is metal detecting, and I'm a member at a metal detecting forum.  Over there, some guy that dabbles in photography and is a mod on the forum started a "Digital Photography" section on the metal detecting forum, with photo challenges every week that give away prizes.  The first one was called "Pets", and I won it with this photo: Rudy's Bath
 So as the winner of the first challenge, it was my responsibility to pick the 2nd challenge, choose the winners of it, and put up a prize if I wanted to.  I haven't decided on the prizes yet, but I chose "Color Portrait" for the challenge.  The challenge is over now, and I've narrowed it down to my top 3 picks.  I'd like to know your opinions on who you like best.
 Pick 1
 Pick 2
 Pick 3

		| | That's a tough one. I'd pick #2 (the tilted horizon in #3 puts me off) |

		| | Those are some pretty good shots.  They're all snap shots.  I like the 3rd one just because I want to be there right now, but I'm not liking the center composition at all. 
 I also like #2, but that garage door is a little distracting.  It does use the rule of thirds at least.
 
 With #1, it's a good picture too, but nothing beats cute kids.  Plus, it's leaning to the left.
 
 I'd vote for #2 for the cuteness factor.
 
 Good luck

		| | I concur, #2. 
 #1 looks like they went on a trip and just took a picture.  And her tongue is sticking out a little bit, haha.
 
 #3 is tilted and washed out.  to me the picture kind of says "I took a picture at a really beautiful spot and even though I didn't put much time or effort into it it's at a really beautiful spot so let me win!"

		| | Thanks for all the replies.  Seems like the vote is a landslide for #2. |

		| | Without a doubt number 2 - Great composition and the door is a little distracting but it has a great natural feel to it and I love the flowers. |

		| | yup two. For the reasons mentioned before.. 3 is leaning and one is just not as interesting in light and content. |
