Need Help with Photo Submission Please!

[Neville Bailey]

I want to enter one of my photos into a photo competition, which has the theme of "Water".

As you know, I have taken numerous water photos, but I need to single out one for my submission.

I have shortlisted some candidate photos (see below), and I would like to hear your opinions as to which one I should submit.

Any guidance on criteria?

I would have thought Marshland and Wilson's Wharf were the most technical.
And that Umhlanga Pier is more than just a little bit special too.

A very good afternoon to you Neville,

Wow! Not easy to choose, they all spectacular. I would choose the following one becuase it incorporates the human element:

[Neville Bailey]

Any guidance on criteria?

"Show us your best water shots from your various locations or travels, be they raging river, quiet stream, lake, rapids, waterfalls, rain, seascapes - whatever! Let the beauty, power and majesty of the water shine through!"

My vote is for "Visit to Inanda"

[Citizen X]

Still very difficult for me to create a hierarchy from what is otherwise a lovely collection, but if I had to make a selection, I would include the following:
1.Visit to Inanda;
2.Over-flowing;
3. Wit Poortjie Waterfall;
4. Water Tapestry
5. Greytown Farm
Bear in mind that I’m not a professional photographer, I’m looking at the subjective here: What the photo makes me feel and whether or not it captivates me

I liked the following alot

1) Wine
2) Umhlanga Pier
3) Everton Fairyland

Zen is my favourite

[Dave S]

Neville, they are all so damn good! But if I must, I like "Umhlanga Pier", and "Zen". They both have that Surrealistic feel, almost as though they are not part of this world but were rather beamed in by Scotty.

[Neville Bailey]

Thanks for all the feedback!

I have made my decision and have submitted Zen to the challenge...
