I am going to be entering a photo contest and need to pick only one photo for each of the following categories:

Landscape
People/Culture
Indigenous Wildlife
Macro/Closeup (not sure I will have anything of worth in this category)

I have grabbed 16 possible photos and placed them in this gallery


Please help me decide the best photo for each category.:lust

    May I suggest creating a poll with your photos so you can quickly and easily see which ones smugger like the most. By the way they all look great.

    Oops. I thought I was voting for one in each catagory, but just as I clicked "vote" I saw that it only took my final vote.

    Not sure, but you might need a poll for each category.

    Gorgeous photos. I voted for #1 in the landscape category, for the cowgirl and for the varmit giggle.

    The flower is lovely, but I would fix the bruises on the rose.

    Good luck!

    Landscape - #2 sandfalls
    People/Culture #4 fading traditions B/W
    Indigenous Wildlife #1 got me twisted *Overall favorite INHO
    Macro/Closeup - You only have the rose. Yeah, it's a good picture but not really that 'special'
