Christmas Tree Dilemma

I have a dilemma that I need help with. I modified these three tree pictures and I can't decide which one I like better. So, I want to ask you, which one do you like best?

Please tell me which one you like best either on here or on Facebook.

LDS Church - Temple Pictures

Recently I have been contacted by the LDS Church for some high resolution copies of the pictures I have taken of some temples. I was pretty excited that they were interested. Here are a few that they requested:










My favorite one is the last picture of the Salt Lake Temple. I love the angle. Of course I am biased!

Black & White Scenery Contest at "Iheartfaces"

I follow several photography web sites and I love it when they have contests. One of the sites I follow is "iheartfaces". This week they have a contest for black & white scenery, but it must have a face in it (even if it is the back of a head). Here is the one I chose. This is the beach at the Grand Wailea in Maui.

Polaroid Art - Photo Maniputlations

Several years ago I was introduced to the art form of Polaroid manipulations. I took the following pictures with an old Polaroid SX-70 camera. Once the picture comes out of the camera, a tool is used to rub the emulsion around which crates a "painterly" effect.

Which one do you like the best?











These really are Polaroid pictures and not paintings. Unfortunately this has become a lost art since Polaroid has discontinued the film for the SX-70.

My favorite one is the last one.

Beef

I just entered a contest where they want a picture of beef. Here is the picture I entered:

Rainbows & Lightning

I had a little fun tonight taking some pictures of the rainbow. It was a double rainbow AND we could see both sides of them.








Several weeks ago I took a picture of some lightning. It was pretty far away, so that is why it is a bit grainy.
