Help me choose my Christmas card?

[Jenn]

Hi Guys!
All this week, I've taken a Christmas shot a day, with the intent of using one of them for our Christmas card this year.
I'm so very indecisive when it comes to stuff like this, so I thought I'd throw them out to you guys and have you vote for the one that you think is the best!

Thanks so much for taking the time to save my sanity ;)


1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6. ....not a conventional Christmas but still warm and fuzzy

[Sarah Lauren]

I love all of them, but my favorites are definately 2 3 and 4. I really like them!! :)

[Michaela (Cala) boniface]

number 3 is my fav xx

[Michelle]

I love number 2. Very cute and made me smile. Which is ideal for a card! :) But all of them are great. This is a great idea.

[Karen Mitchell]

I love the Snowman one :)

[melissa]

I really like them all, but I am going to suggest #5.

[Julie]

2 :-)

[Michelle]

Loving them all, but no 5 is my fav. great ideas

[Dawnetta]

love the warmth and cozy feeling of #3....

(followed by #5 as a close second choice!)

[Theresa]

Number two is my favorite!

[Dave Schofield]

for me 2 is the winner, with 1 close behind, and at the bottom of the list is the feet. Christmas cards indeed.

[Paula x2 Brumbe]

trying to look at this from a non 365 perspective. How many of your friends will be impressed by bokeh is the question

Ultimately I would pick one and then two to send out to my guests.
but here or all my thoughts.

I would like to get 2 the most (more winter, less christmas)
4 will make most people happy.
I really like number 1 for its brightness

I would not pick the following because:
3 and 5 may be a bit dark for the printer to get right (I had an epic fail with the printer for my cards last year because of this)
6 may be a bit too artistic (hence why I asked if they follow you on 365)

[Chase]

If I was making one I would choose 3, it is amazing.

[Heather]

they are all brilliant! but i like 2 best :)

[Kim Suzanne Kelley]

Oooooh - all are great! I think I prefer 2 though.

[Isabella Thunder]

the look amazing, 2 & 5 are my favs

[MaryBeth Dailey]

I LOVE #2 the snowman! It is the best!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

SEcond fav is #5

[Harry J Benson]

They all are good, but my favorite is 3

[Lisabell]

I vote 2. They’re all good, but 2 jumped out to me.

[Jenn]

@brumbe I played with #3 forever to get it a bit brighter but it wasn't happening. (needs a re-shoot with better light) I agree both are a bit dark. As for the bokeh, I'm not too worried who will be impressed, I'm just after which one is the most appealing to the most people!

[Al Perry]

3

[Kathy A]

My favourites are 2 & 5

[Dorrena Ortega]

2

[Judith Greenwood]

Well at first glance I was going 2 but on longer reflection I really like 6 as well and I like 1 and 4 and....

[CK]

Love them all, but my fav must be #2! Well done!

[Carin Pollexfen-Smith]

I really like 3 but then I like things to be a bit different. They are all lovely ;-)

[Donna Edwards]

Aah wow, I can't choose haha. They are all so very very good!! Fab stuff :o)

[Shades of Grey]

1, with the caveat of lightening up the bottom of the jar just a touch, seems a little dark for a christmas card. IMO

[Annie]

2 or 5

[Ady Woods]

3 although I quite like 5 as well

[Cheryll]

3. :-)

[Jen Hudson]

2 & 5 for cards but love no. 1.

[Cassabear]

I vote 3

[Wendy Delena]

2

[Juanita]

These are wonderful - I'm quite in awe and wish I could do just one half as good!
I love them all and have been back several times trying to choose and I can't.
2 and 5 are gorgeous and traditional but I also love 1 and 3 for something more unusual! That's it.......I can't narrow it down more :)

[Kate Klinck]

1, 2 or 3!! love them all!

[Paula]

Oh crap - now I have to actually pick one and I LOVE them all! If I were absolutely forced to pick one, I'd say number 2, but I had to make my Mom come and help decide:)

[Cheyenne Rebecca ツ]

3

[Alison Tomlin]

[Garry Meus]

2

[jerry plume]

I love #3!

[Sondra Sarra]

They are all so good. I am terrible when it come to choosing my own photos. I really like the POV and feel of 3. The bokeh is wonderful as well. The socks give that warm and fuzzy feeling of the chilly holiday season.

[Sara Byrne]

I really really really love all of them but if i HAVE to choose I will say 1 or 2 ... still can't pick just one!

[Clare]

1

[Diana]

I am all for #3.....Christmas should be about sitting a spell and enjoying the fruit of your labours!!

[Chelsea Porter]

2 ans 5 are my favorites!!! Although I really love them all and they are all very creative.

[Louie]

They're all great, but my intial reaction was 2. Good luck with the choice.

[Cindi C]

3

[Anna Ruth]

I love 2 and 5 but my vote is for 5... all are creative and great!

[Brian Baptie]

5

[Phil]

2 made me smile the most 5 has the added message and for me they feel the most Christmassy.
I can see you're not the only one struggling to choose! :)

[alia_801]

2 :)

[Bugik]

I so like 4 and 5. :-)

[Jane]

3

[Cherrill]

So creative.....a hard choice but 2 or 5!

[Howard Steele]

#1 or #3

[Janna E.]

4 or 5 or maybe both.

[Mia Tyson]

2

[LittleBlueWren]

4 and 6 are my favourites :)

[Krista]

2

[Hope Russell]

2 or 4 are my favs

[Stella de Jong]

2!

[Izzy Mathie]

they're all gorgeous! 1, 2, or 3 are my favs but whichever you choose will go down a treat :)

[Erin Claire Goodman]

3 is more personal. I like 1 the best however. This is such a fun idea!!!

[Nicole Campbell]

2 or 5 as they reflect the Christmas theme you were trying to capture. Good luck, it is hard choosing. I only used on object for our card but took so many different shots and it has hard picking the final one!

[Suzan Macco]

I agree, 3 is more personal. They are all great though!

[Camille Bisson]

i would do a combo of 2 & 3 as i never send out just one card. you are very creative and good luck making a choice!

[Rachael]

1 or 2 :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I don't know if this is really going to help you because we all like different things! I think you should send the one that feels best represents you- not which one you think is the best. Whichever one of the six that is what you think of first when you think of Christmas is what I'd suggest. But since you asked, my favorite is #1- but I love anything mint!!

[Margaret Tryon]

All terrific. My personal favorite is 2

[Emily]

1 or 2

[Kathryn Marshall]

My first favorite is 2. My second favorite is 5. Do you have a favorite? If so, I would go with it. All of the shots are good.

[Emma]

I would choose 3 or 6, not sure which!

[Amy]

I can't decide between 3 or 6!

[Steph Nijhuis]

I'd definitely go with either 2 or 5!

[Amy McLaughlin]

I love #3 - looks peaceful and lively at the same time

[Aimee]

I really like the snowman, and the coffee mug. Great shots, I don't think you can wrong with any of them! :)

[Amy G.]

I love 2 & 3!

[Stacy ♥ DOF]

i like 4 the best, but they're all fantastic :)

[Don Roos]

THEY ARE ALL AWSOME. Send them all as a Christmas card. You can do so by sending as many of your cards as possible via email in a PDF file. You can send about 10 photos with text and still have the size around 1 MB, due to the compression of pdf. The reader can enlarge the photos as wanted and they appear very high resolution when viewed. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Standard to make pdf files right out of Word, you can do so with free pdf makers like PrimoPDF. It saves a ton of work and postage costs and you can still send your favorite photo-card via snail mail to those which you do not have email addresses.

[Tineke]

I like 2!

[La.Sk]

2! 4 and 5 are cool too though.

[e.gad]

[Mcdougall]

I still vote for #1. Although I really like 6 too since it is very different. Nice job on all of these!

[Jenn]

@juletee I'm going to make them. Get the photo printed at walmart for cheap, card from Michael's (craft store) photo corners (so they can keep the photo if they want to) Not too sure what it will cost me..shouldn't be too bad.
Stay tuned....going to post a photo of the finished product by the end of the week
Thanks for taking the time to look!

[Craige]

Not many people went for 6 I see I really found this one warming I would be happy to receive this threw the post good luck with deciding

[Jenn]

To Everyone!
Thank you so much for taking the time to have a look at my shots! I'm totally overwhelmed by the amount of feedback I'm getting and I have no idea how I'm going to reply to 176 people!! That will surely take me all afternoon and I'm bound to miss someone.
I'm going to post the winner in a new discussion towards the end of the week. I need time to get the photo printed and to hit Michael's for supplies.

Thanks so much....you're all so unbelievably supportive!
xox
(as of this minute, this discussion has had 477 views....unreal!)

[MaggieH]

2 then 5. You must have had fun with this project. Well done.

[Julie Ryan]

The snowman is my favorite!

[stephanie dp]

they're all excellent choices but I was immediately drawn to #2, so that's my vote.

[scooter]

Ok I keep looking at them and 3 keeps drawing me in so 3 it is for me. They are all beautiful though!

[Leslie]

#2 is my favorite though I think several of them are great!

[Catherine ♥]

2 or 5 this are all amazing though!!

[Hannah R]

2 or 5 (: They're all great!

[Kate]

it has to be #1 for me!!

[Glendq]

2 and 3
i really love snowmen on Christmas cards but i think 3 shows the warmth and fun of the holidays

[Danielle Greenwood]

oh but my favourite one didn't make the final 6! I really loved Thing 1 from the 20th Nov! So, they are all great, and lots of people are saying 2, but I think 1. but really I like 'thing 1' so you know, if you change your mind.... :-)

[Jami jones]

I think 3 is the cutest. Awesome shots :)

[Cathy Misze]

I love 2 or 5.

[Michelle Bambary]

They are all wonderful, any one you pick will be great! I am drawn to 2 and 5 the most!

[Ulpi]

Jen, I am a fan of your number 6!
They are all great but I always go for the non conventional one:)

[Janet Morris]

2 and 5 for me too but they'd all make great cards!

[Warren]

For me, I like 2 or 5, very traditional, love the dof, overall a great feeling of Christmas, although, I would have to admit, that anyone of them would be wonderful, they are all wonderful shots.

[carol bloomfield]

snowman, its lovely...they are all great but this is my fav

[Ellie Hardister]

well of all the comments I have read no one has chosen #4, which is my choice. I guess I am the odd one when it comes to pictures. I like simple and classy, rolled up into one picture. #4 to me, is simple yet classy...

[Helen]

2 and 3 for me - really can't choose between them.

[jenny tucker]

haha - i like them all - but i pick #1...though it doesn't seem to be popular with anyone else - - i like it because it is different! good luck - hard choice!
