I have had these in my gallery,and though i will do more now I would like to see if any of these would e worth a contest entry.Keep in mind they have been downsized a lot, and I have the original out of cameras.

6 was a tight crop..but do have the original larger.Just on a disc so this is how I posted it previous. Maybe it is too tight a crop vertically

5 would be my 1st choice then 2, then 7 as far as depicting the "Frasier River" & appealing to more of the judges... i do like the sunset one but think it's lost a lot of detail in the darkness but it could be from downsizing too :]

1 & 2 would be my choices, doug!

2 & 3 mine. :-)

1 stands out, but could be anywhere, so I'd go for 5 or 7

Ooops, I immediately tied this to the challenge. Yeah, 1 is quite nice, but for a contest about the river 7 would be a good choice. I would only crop the water out more.

Those were taken with my Nikon 8700,so I will reshoot some with the D70.See how much better it will get.

No 1 & 3 for me.

Eggiwegs! I would like... to smash them!

A fine set of Images...sorry...I have never been a good Judge of anything...Sailor :]

1 & 3 are really great shots, the more artistic of the group... but i have doubts the judges will be looking for this... the subject being "How do you live, work, play along the Fraser River" & looks like the winner will be featured in the paper... but you never know...
will be looking forward to seeing more...
shall we place bets? :D

Fine pics all - not knowing the River it is impossible to say which ones suit best. I would have thought it had to be something that is typically symbolic of that river, but different enough to stand out.

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

5 and 6 are my favs!

2,4,5 and 6 for me! Not sure this helps much! If I remember correctly u said u had to pick 3 pics right??
Well, if so, I'll go for 6, 5 and 2 even though #2 looks really underexposed to me but it might be because of the resizing and the high res pics might show more details in the shadows! My 20 pence! ;)
