Hi!
I'd like to participate to "Best of 2005 entry animals" but I have some difficulties to choose, as animals are my favortite subject in photography, so I have too many pictures of them! Please take a look at my profile (there's 2 pages) and tell me what you think...  

Thank you!

    Honestly Gab, Please do not Take Offense at this. But I think that would be cheating. You cannot ask the Judges to Pic your best pic for a competition. I struggled for 10 days with which photo to use. Yeah I asked some friends what they thought but not the judging body itself. But If other people do, I welcome them to also since this is just my opinion. Plus I haven't had my coffee yet :) Hope you are not mad

    I agree... piciking ones photo for the contest is part of the assignment... your asking your competitors for help... I look forward to seeing what you come up with... good luck...

    I totally agree with the above statements....we all had to struggle with this ourselves; it's not right for us to help you choose. Good luck......

    I agree with the above. You do have some very good shots. Now it's your job to struggle with which you think is best.

    He never stated he wanted the judges to pick one, just our opinions, we all throw them out there so what's the harm, I've asked for help picking and so have other people on here. Maybe he doesn't know some of the members well enough to PM one.

  • smalltown05 1/11/06 6:42 AM
    Lil, he's probably better off not knowing us that well! And gab you have some great things to choose from.

    - blow.....hard


  • KayN 1/11/06 6:46 AM
    I like that one, too, Kerry! Gab, I looked at your photos....you have some nice ones in there, but I still won't give you any advice on which one to enter; sorry, dude. Hope you understand.

    Well i will go against the flow and say i like animals, the two horses. having said that.. if everyone answered your question you would get a dozen (or more) different answers. Some will judge on technical aspects, others will judge on subject matter, others still might pick up on some interesting aspect of the photo. we all look at it differently. you have many photos to choose from, and to me, the most interesting part of this isn't who wins, or how many vote for your pic. I am interested in what a person sees as their best, and that tells me alot about who they are. many fine photos here, the story behind them, whats behind the lense, to me thats what the "contest" is all about. but thats just one opinion among hundreds. good luck

    - believe...

    Where the hell do you people live that you get such great animal shots? I personally like the one, but then maybe the other one, or even another one. This is the Best Animal Shot I ever got.

    try a more scatter shot approach... post all of them SG that gator shot is a classic!

  • mdibble681 1/11/06 7:55 AM
    i am a non posting newbie ... but would offer my 2 cents here ..... Never let anyone but your inner muse dictate your art ...... That which you produce for others is a commodity ... that which you produce for yourself is an expression ... the essence of art! too heady? ps: ... btw, "Cat6" the "Fireside Cat" is a great shot.

  • Pyro43 1/11/06 7:56 AM
    Come on, Paul. You've shot better animals. Or, should I say trapped? TeeHeeHee

  • RobinG 1/11/06 8:52 AM
    Gab why don't you check out the comments from your first post, maybe that will help you out. :o)

  • TURBO 1/11/06 8:54 AM
    My choice is Bird 1 or WHite Bear. They're all pretty good, though,hard to decide. Good luck.

    - Say what ?


  • chef009 1/11/06 9:03 AM
    You got some really cool shots...so bite the bullet and pick one...how could you loose....we all winners just for loving what we do.

    What a menagerie!!! Gab.......I am sure that you have a "favorite".......go with that one! Good luck!

    - ummmm


  • sball 1/11/06 9:43 AM
    Many good ones - but I really like Cat 1

  • skate 1/11/06 12:39 PM
    Geezz gab, they're all good. I'm prejudiced, love horses! :-) Pick 4 favorites and flip a coin, that's what I had to do. (AAARGGHRGHH!) BTW, Welcome.

  • jojames1 1/11/06 1:48 PM
    hmmm......I'm with the guys that we shouldn't tell you what to put in...it is part of the challenge....but you may want to PM someone and ask them to help you narrow it down a little....nothing wrong with asking for help! (I liked your duck, grizzly and moose...so I'm no help at all...you still have to pick from all your great stuff!)
