Please help me choose photos I have the opportunity to enter a small community amateur photo contest and I was wondering if anyone could look at my gallery and tell me which photos, if any, I should enter. I would really appreciate all your time. My family is giving me mixed responses and I am so confused. Thank you!

That's one of the things about photos and photography - Very subjective. Everyone has a different opinion... :-) If I were to pick from your gallery, I would choose - Fishy Face and Fields of Gold... HTH

Thank you for your imput...one question though, why fishy face? I like it because it is my son and I thought it was funny, but I was shocked it was a finalist. I am fairly new to this, so I tend to like photos just beacause they strike me at the time, not because of the technical detail stuff that I am just starting to learn. That is why I like others imput, it helps me learn. Thanks again!!

Also, when entering a photo contest, is it better to choose a "pure" photo or can you use some that have been digitally manipulated. The contest does not specify.

just label it digital-edited and you wont have any problems

Does the contest have cateogries, like people, flora, macro, etc??? If so, can you enter more than one photos in a category? People category: Landscape: If digital manulation is allowed, I would use it for my own benefit.

Sandy, You asked - Why fishy face... Here's is what I would say... It's real, it's a kid being a kid, it comes across as unposed and fun. You see... I pose people all the time (most of us do), but the photos that come out the best are those "real" photos - where people are just being themselves and enjoying life (or those photos that are depict other aspects of real life). The tell a story beyond what the photo shows... Hope that makes sense... Just my 2 pennies. :-)

Thanks Jon. I agree 100% on the unposed. I love fishy face because it is my son and it makes me laugh. I just did not think that others would appreciate it as much because as far as "technically" great photography, I just thought it might be lacking. I hope that makes sense. I am really grateful for your input though and I am glad you like fishy face. Thanks!
