It's happened to me again!

Three choices for the money challenge. All very different pics, of the same basic thing, and I can't choose which to submit! One is fairly basic but effective. The other two are more exciting, more clever, but not quite as good as they could be (and I don't have a chance to reshoot).

Shown the 3 photos to the three work colleagues I usually show to (who don't come here direct, they just like to see what I do) and guess what ....

Three different answers!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I'll save whichever 2 I don't submit and put them up after the challenge for comment.

Annoyingly, my favourite one which I may end up going for, is probably not the best scorer.... but I like it.

How very frustrating that is!!

Some of my lowest rated photos were "reviewed" by family and/or "peers", and I went with the majority choice, (if there was one). I have learned to go with MY choices, even if they don't do well, I usually don't care because I like them.

I look forward to seeing your final choice!

Honestly, I'd say choose the one you think will score the highest to enter in the challenge. Then post your favorite one for all of us to see in the forums. That way, you get the highest score you can, and you get to share your "favorite" work, as well. If you put your favorite picture that you know won't score well into the challenge, it will be unapreciated. In the forums, we'll get to see it with your comments and explanation, and view it for what it is. You win on both sides. Please the massed in the challenge, if you have a choice.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying you should only shoot to please the voters and not yourself. Quite the contrary, I'm just saying that in this situation, where you have two shots, one that will score well, and one you really like, go ahead and let the masses have their cake, and keep the spoils for yourself!

The two lowest photos I entered were picked by popular choice from friends. I don't ask anymore. Go with your heart and choose what you like. If it doesn't do good (which I doubt in your case) then at least you like it. Good luck.

Good advice all round .... helps not a sausage *laugh*

I think I'll go with the one I like and then blame only myself as I have no idea which would score best looking at them again.

I'll post all 3 after the challenge.
