help for next week.. please :)

[Kayla Ferguson]

Next week, Im competing in the missouri state photography competition through SkillsUSA. I went last year and placed third.. Im not too nervous since i know what to expect.. We have to do a still life shoot, a portrait and an off site along with taking two tests, conducting an interview and then doing a reconstruction photoshop assignment..
The reason for me posting this is because along with all of that, we have to have two photo submissions to be judged at displayed.. Im not sure which to choose.. Ill post my final 5 and Id appreciate it if you gave me your opinion or your favorite two.. Thanks!

In no order..
1 -


2-


3-


4-


5-


Or if you see one from my project that you like, please post it here or even one from my photography page - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kayla-Ferguson-Photography/138765912807731

I could really use your opinions!!

[Lauren]

kayla my favs are number 1 and 5 (although they are all really good!)

[Arline Florentino]

Great minds think alike, Lauren!! :)
I'm thinking 1 and 5 as well. They're all good though, so go with your gut!
GOOD LUCK

[Harry J Benson]

I like the Butterfly; it has good DoF and focus. For the 2nd one I like the following one of your nephew.

[Laura]

1 and 3.

[Missy]

Agree, 1 and 5 are the best.

[♥Jennifer Bovan]

I like them all, but i'd have to agree with 1 and 5. Good luck! : )

[Kelsey Schmitt]

I like 1, 2, and 5... it's hard to choose!

[Sammy ❤]

def 1 and 5..... but i do like 2!

[Sheila M Chin]

1 and 5 and #2 as a runner-up

[Kima]

1, 2, and 5. I think I like 2 more than 1. Not sure. They're all great though.

I had no idea you lived in Missouri. I do too. :)

Good luck!

[Dana Derrico]

I like them all. I would have to say 1 and 5.

[Kathryn Marshall]

I like 1 and 5.
1 is my favorite: focus, originality, message (fortune)
5: I like the composition and how you captured the subtle colors and the depth of the water.

I also like Photo 78. I like the composition, focus on the 2011 charm on the tassel, and the soft feel to the rest of the photo.

#1 looks the best of all three in the thumbnail version (if this makes a difference).

[Paula x2 Brumbe]

1 and 2

[ValHamil]

I like the color, composition, clarity, and focus on #5

[Alice Rae]

All 5 are great. If i have to choose, I go with 1 and 5 as well.

[Emily Hoffman]

2 and 5

[♥ brenda ♥]

I'm loving 1 and 5 as well! Good luck!!!

[Kate Klinck]

I like them all but I would go with 1 and 5 :o)

[Tricia]

I also agree with#1 and 5

[Lisa]

2 and 5...almost said 1 and 5 b/c of the crop on 2, but I think the butterfly is a really pretty shot.

[Nathan Marshall]

thats my fav of all yours i think! ^^^

and also number 1

[Kima]

@kaylaferguson I live in Kansas City. How about you?

[Paula x2 Brumbe]

What about your photo from Feb 18th of the Daisy. That is a simple, yet detailed photo that got my attention more than any of the others in the 1 inch by 1 inch square provided by the monthly calender.

[andiejaye]

i have to agree with @marshy15 the above shot of the sweet baby with pretty eyelashes is by far your best!!

[Flamez]

i personally also like 1 & 5 best of these !

Just had a look through your album and i also like the boys eye lashes that someone posted above :) ....... i also love louie but i dont think hes what u are after :( lol

[Lynn M. Watson]

[Stephanie Freydenfeldt]

[Kayla Ferguson]
