These were taken today at the Mountain Heritage Festival at Fort Ritchie, MD. Any of these challenge-worthy?

Thanks!

    I like 2-5 as "street/candids" but I think #6 is more challenge-worthy.

    Hi Linda,

    First off it looks like a fun festival. #1 looks a little flat to me (makes you want to tweak that contrast a bit doesn't it?). I like all of the others but agree with Mark that #6 is the best. Great composition, nice expression, color looks good and DOF with the brighter washed out background really makes the main subject stand out.

    Thanks for your input, everyone! Yes, I sure do wish I could tweak the contrast on that horse shot. rolleyes1.gif

    ne_nau.gifI dunno, I like #6, myself, but I think I just need to get out today and keep shooting. And, crank up the contrast on my camera settings. :D

    Of these last 3, I like #8 - Solitary Flyer the best. But I think #6, the Captain, is better.

    The sunset shots are both good but I think #6 might be a stronger entry for this challenge.
