#2 of the light brites is the sharpest and has the whitest whites in the smoke portion. They are great ideas. Well thought of and nicely done!

Cool ideas! I like the lite brite ones better and of those, #4. I like the reflection of the light trails from the boat and they are most prominent in #4.

The lite brites are awesome - great idea & execution! I like the balance in #1 & the way the boat lines go through the moonlight. The color underneath the moon looks like the horizon & moonlight. I also like the reflections below the boat better - the way the colors from the boat go through the reflection of the moon.

The other photos are fine, but not nearly as eye-catching as the colorful boat. And the next post will say that #3 is best! They are all good

I like the idea in #1 - cute! Of the lite-brite shots I like #1 the best. I also really like the light trails in #6 over the candles.

It's a tough choice, but I think I like #6 better overall. Something I can't quite put my finger on, but I like the feeling better.

Love the idea! I just can't pick just one.

I love #6 - it's crystal clear with a very unique upper light source.

Great ideas! #4 is my favorite for the same reasons WhatSheSaw said. #6 is my favorite of the dinner settings.

Everyone, thanks for the input!

I agree with everyone's reasons for chosing one over another... I started off thinking I liked #2 the best because of the colors, but I also like the same things about the others that each of you pointed out (and in case anyone's wondering, the light source above the candles is a large mirror being moved around by my wife). I'm still not sure which of these I like best, and I'm having a hard time deciding whether to go with one from this series, or one of the 3 silhouettes of my wife that I posted before... I like both series for different reasons... Anyone care to chime in with your thoughts and muddy the waters a little more?

#6 is stunningly beautiful! really creative shots! nice job!

Between these and the ones of your wife, I would go with one of the wife series. I like the simplicity and the lines in them.

I really like the ships. I think I like the one with the moon (#1), but I also like the more impressionistic style reflection in #4. I think the sillhouette pictures were great, but I like these better for this audience and this theme. The others are more sophisticated, but these are fabulous "paintings."

I like the dinner scene, but it looks a little stock photo-ish to me. They'd actually be great stock photos (worth submitting somewhere?).

Thanks for the input kidzmom, whatshesaw, and sunflowerstudio... I appreciate the suggestions...:D
