Which Picture?! Info inside...

I'm a planning on entering a photography contest but do not know which picture to choose. Can some people who actually know things about photography help me out/critique them? I'd ask my friends but none of them are into art. There will be pros and ams entering so I don't know if my work will hold up to others...

One contest allows three photographs and the other one only allows one photograph.

Thanks in advanced,

Dana

    Rain clouds (the first one) is fantastic. The only problem is the darkness on the left side. I'm not sure if it was on purpose or not, but I think some lighting on the field would have made this picture perfect. But ya know, it's still an amazing picture. The sky is unbelievable. Maybe mess with the color contrast a little, make those clouds really pop.

    Orange glow is my 2nd favorite. The color is great, the composition is great, and I love the sense of movement you get from the texture of the rocks. It's beautiful. The only thing I don't like is that little patch of over-exposure top-center, it really distracts the eye, but a little editing could get rid of that.

    3rd would either be falling sand or sparkler. Of course, falling sand is great because of the movement but it's kind of boring.....it's too monotone or something. Maybe a little color boost would help? Also, sparkler is so creative and interesting. I'm really torn between those two.

    They're all very beautiful. Good luck with your contest!

    A polyurethane, oftentimes abbreviated PU, is any polymer which incorporates a set of organic and organic gadgets joined with the help of urethane (carbamate) links. Polyurethane formulations cover an quite huge form of stiffness, hardness, and densities. Polyurethane products are frequently referred to as "urethanes" (now to not be perplexed with the particular substance urethane). really, it really is a form of plastic, or man made fabric. Yours grow to be made into the impact of tender leather. regrettably, even as it really is torn, you may’t extremely restore it. Yours is lined with cotton to provide it some potential and stability. you may attempt to stitch the cotton fabrics from below, and examine out to patch the exterior indirectly, besides the indisputable fact that it extremely is an really painstaking challenge. you're waiting to connect it from interior, with the help of putting some fabric below to carry the torn products mutually. you may’t enable it get stiff, or it is going to replace the way it handles. you may’t use any warmth because the PU will maximum likely melt at particular temperatures. the different aspect you may do it stitch the products mutually on both side of the tear, besides the indisputable fact that it seriously is not as strong because the unique. Take very small close mutually stitches. then you certainly can positioned something over the tear, like an applique, which will appear as if you're personalizing your bag. you may upload some plant existence, or colourful buttons, or upload an more suitable strap which will bypass around the total bag. there are tactics to camouflage what you've performed, so it feels like portion of the layout. those bags do seem tremendous, yet even as they have a tear, it really is almost no longer accessible to fix. Sorry.

    falling sand, looking up, and rain clouds are my three favorite. they are all strong pieces.

    I wouldn't use any of the ones with light beams through them. they do look nice but I wouldn't use them in a photography contest. The sunset and cloud ones are nice but are mediocre compared to your other pieces.
