Trudy - I figured it would be best to create a separate thread for all of us to post our favorite pics for your contest. It was so tough to pick just 10 - so many beautiful pictures, my goodness. Please understand that I am a total layperson when it comes to photography. I LOVE photography but I have absolutely no idea about lenses, light exposures, perfect compositions, etc. So my picks come strictly from the heart and soul and I picked the ones that speak to me on a deeper level.

Deb,do you mean this one? That's the one Trudy. I think that's my favorite. There are so many incredible pictures, it's hard to choose. You are so very talented. They all look so professional. I think you're going to win this contest. Do you submit ten?

Oh, my!!! Jim and I only went through the 24 pictures on the initial link. That was hard enough!! Serene and Deb have posted some exceptional ones. You really can't go wrong. The choices that Jim and I made.......5, 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 24. I hope you know how gifted you are!!

Trudy - are you going to submit all 10 photos just for Category A or are you considering category B as well??
If you do Category B also, you have quite a few photos that would qualify as a theme.....

Trudy - I love the colorful ones - especially the one with the pink house/shop. All of them are so pretty though!

yes,serene,all the 10 pics will go for category A. i realized i didn't have any pic qualify to go for the other category. Actually, Trudy, I think you'd have several different themes you could use. For instance, you seem to like taking pictures of "back alleys".... But since this is your first contest you might feel more comfortable just sending in the pictures for now.......

It has to feel right for you, Trudy, that's the most important thing.
When are you going to finalize your decision on what pictures to send in? I am so excited for you and I know you'll do great!
Have you researched for any other open contests out there?

Oh Man! I wish I had stumbled across this thread earlier... You know how much I LOVE your photographs, Trudy! But I suppose I'm too late...When was the contest? I love all the photo's posted above, but I have a special love for those photo's taken off the beaten path, like the back alley's and ordinary things that most people don't pay attention to in passing... But when you stop and capture one of these seemingly innocent common almost invisible moments in your camera lens it truly amazes me how beautiful and alive everything becomes... It's like...MAGIC!
