Didn't have time to do what I wanted but have these two. Last minute entry...which would you enter?

Thanks in advance.

1) Power Sucker
Single image tweaked in Lightroom only. Non-composited. Just a great model.

We're Expecting

    Wild!
    It really is too bad you cannot enter both!

    One tugs at the heart

    The other tugs at my eyelids to go wide!

    I'm on a very sharp fence, about to teeter over into the side of the heart but probably because my heart is what seems to be sensitive this week. (my eyes are tired)

    The first has several things in it that bug me but it still is a very interesting photo for content.

    so #2 it is.

    Hell's bells, man, do you ever have a bad idea? mwink.gif #1 made me laugh out loud--what a wonderful concept! The post-processing puts me off a bit, which is why I lean a bit more toward #2. How absolutely lovely this image is, composition- and storywise. I didn't quite get the title of the piece--the mother doesn't look very pregnant--but was able to read the cover on the book, which tied it together for me. thumb.gif

    That was a very long way of saying #2 gets my vote. :D

    So does this mean there's going to be another little Hatch running around soon????

    I'm going to be absolutely no help. I love #2 for the gentle, quiet, stirring story it tells me. I love #1 because it's so doggone funny... There! Did that answer the question?... :D NO? Hmh.

    Had an ultra sound last Monday. It's a girl (number 6)! Took all the kids out of school to go with us. They are soooooooo excited.

    I have to say #1....Love the composition, it's very different (or perhaps just cuz I'm not a mushy person..Kiddin") and the title...Nice Work.:D


    Wow Shatch..you have 6 KIDS??? Oh My...Blessed Be and Many Blessing's to the Wife...Laughing.gif

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!clap.gifclap.gif :ivar :ivar

    Wow! You guys rock! 6 kidlets! I don't know how your wife does it, because I feel I've lost my mind with just 3 wonderfully rambunctious little boys...

    How wonderful!

    On a side note, gee you have an amazing idea pot!! Number 1 is awesome!

    Both so different and difficult to choose!!!

    Thank you all for your input and congratulations! I don't know why I even bother with struggling with the choice...there are so many good entries already that this will be a token entry.

    Congratulations on #6. Where do you find the time for photography with 6 kids? rolleyes1.gif Then again, they probably provide you with dozens of really good photo ops.

    As for the LPS choices, I am torn between both of your selections. #1 is hilarious! But #2 really pulls at me as well.

    IMHO both are fabulous so I'm going to give you the same advice I gave Swartzy: I think you'll need to flip a coin! :D
