1 or 2

nice pics

#2. They're all beautiful, but you made a slug look good and visually appealing, an impossible task in my estimate, so that's my vote :)

Good luck!

Number 3 is so crystal clear and detailed. Love!

Thanks for all the input all! Keep it coming :D

I would say three, because....now dont take this the wrong way. but the slug looks way to Burned to me. I know that its prolly not, but to me i see a burned imaage, and its all about winning.

I would think you would win with three.

Number 3... Ladybugs are hotness!

PS: and it is a great pic. Great lighting, an accesible subject... blah, blah, blah... but you may get points for the slug. You took a somewhat nasty thing and made it counter to the stigma. I would vote for it. It is all about going against the grain and challenging perceptions and schemas.

Not burned at all yo ;) Thats just the animals coloration. If you want to see other pics of it, just google the Leopard Slug :)

Here's another one. If you look right by the eyes where the shot would be at for the other slug shot...you can see the same coloration and everything :) (Different slug though ;))

#1.. it looks most natural, the lady bug is awesome but there is almost a circle on its back that looks like a flash was used and you can see your body in the shadow lol.


well done!!!

What are the criteria for the contest and who will be judging? You'd maybe choose something different for a pro photog judging panel than for public vote type thing, right?
