Dear All,
I plan to enter our State Fair Fine Art contest this year. Each entrant is allowed to submit only TWO photographs. I've narrowed my possible choices down to FOUR. So .... I'm hoping that I might count on the UHH community to help me choose the best two to enter. The PHOTOGRAPHY JUDGING CRITERIA are:
Impact - Composition - Creativity - Technical Aspects - Presentation. (presentation can't really be assessed here as I won't invest in the mounting/framing until after I've narrowed my choice.) BUT ... suggestions for mat color - or whether to go with stretched canvas with no frame - would also be appreciated.
Thanks all,
Tim

My selection is no. 4. No 3 is good, but only half the flower shows and that begs the question why. No 1 needs more depth of field and no. 2 isn't so interesting as the others. That's my take. I would take another few photos and sort them for your second entry.

#1 best for impact - in a creepy, shivering way, lol - and for composition. This would get my vote, for sure.

#2 is too common

#3 best for technical. Gorgeous!

#4 is fun, but mostly just right-time/right-place, so no points for creativity.

#4 for sure, but crop 1" from left side to improve the composition. #3 would have been OK if more of the subject was in sharp focus, so you may want to go thru your files
& pick another subject.

I go with 3 & 4. At 1st glance, I liked #1, but a second look made me decide it looks "incomplete" for lack of a better term. Just sems as though more of the snail should be visible in the frame. Just my own opinion. Good luck!

Because of shallow dof on 1 and 2, I vote for 3 and 4.
