I was going to wait until my trip to Bahamas to enter..but as SShay stated you never know what could happen. I have played with a couple of photos...and as usual the final decision comes down to which to enter

What do you think, any thoughts, or should I try something else...All comments and opinions will be appreciated...Lurkers out there feel free to comment also...:D Thanks Everyone for taking the time, your eyes are appreciated

    Sunflower is nice but Lion stands out more. It's a nice "classical" piece

    The lion wins out over the sunflower for sure. :D

    Have you tried cropping out the tiles that are less in focus to see how that compares with your current version?

    LION! :D The sunflower is great but for the contest - LION! Unless, of course, you happen upon a beautiful rainbow of pastels painted across the Bahamas landscape and the mojitos don't throw off your ability to focus...:ivar

    I think the lion is the best choice for this contest. Both are great but I would probably go ahead with the lion. Amazing how much easier it is to know what someone else should do (I am still trying to figure out which I am going to use/or keep looking).

    Have fun on trip!!

    Well Tentie, I do also really love this photo of the lion that you took. I think you fixed it up already from your advice thread earlier on, and I can't think of anything else that could be recommended to do to it!

    Don't get sunburned over there, and don't let the ocean water bleach the blonde out of your hair!
    :D
