My Photoshop skills, limited as they are, start and stop with photos, adding text is out of my league, so I kept it simple :D

Any thoughts or suggestions on the text (from a layout perspective) or photo would be appreciated!

This is my first choice, #1:

503168846_CFjev-XL.jpg

Some other photos that might work with a same or similar title. These should all have enough space to add some text to the top and/or bottom.

#2:

503127655_YW9eZ-L.jpg

#3:

503128982_z6BpX-XL.jpg

#4:

503126790_33ULg-XL.jpg

#5:

503126262_3iuQv-XL.jpg

And here are some non-Stanley Park photos taken within the contest period, I would have to come up with titles for these.

#6, Mt. Si (also have a pano version of this but it probably wouldn't work for this challenge):

499204558_yY2sv-XL.jpg

#7: Sandhill Cranes

496145522_BhYw4-XL.jpg

#8, Sandhill Cranes:

496144210_WrYt4-XL.jpg

And I also have some photos from this week, but I haven't taken them yet, and I don't know where they'll be or what they'll look like :lol3

    :jawdrop Lets just say that I agree. These are ALL incredible shots. I would be so proud to have just one landscape photo that was as amazing as these few that you have taken within the last month. Holey Majoley.... you rock. But if one has to pick.... it would be #1. And I think your words are perfect..

    If you use #3 get rid of the Chevron sign. I tried to go the opposite route and tell you them in the order of least favorite first, but the only one that doesn't seem to strike a real strong chord with me is #6... but even that is still such a strong shot. You make me sick. :D You have your work cut out for you.bowdown.gif

    #1 is a jawdroppingly marvellous entry, it will be a winner. And as everybody already have said, all are marvellous photos. Man, you are too good, I'm just about withdrawing my crappy entry right now!

    Actually, I think you should be banned, and not allowed to participate umph.gif

    :D

    Ron, I am assuming that your gut instinct was #1, since that is the one you worked on. I would stick with it. I think it is gorgeous!
    (BTW, I love #3 too!)

    You live in a beautiful place - as I'm sure you're well aware. I love going up to Vancouver, I hadn't been up there for almost a year and was well overdue. I'll probably be spending a few weeks in the Canadian Rockies this year too.

    lol3.gif Thanks for the feedback! I agree about that Chevron sign, it's the bane of my existence whenever I do a shot of Canada Place from Stanley Park.
