I won BLUE for the two I entered. Silvana Sunset and Sanderlings. Whew! Thanks for all the input. MB
I can enter 2 photos at the Stanwood Fair. Only allowed 2. So out of the jillion of pictures I have have taken I narrowed it down to these 3. Whaddya think??
I framed them myself with frames and mats I found here and at the thrift. Easy peasy cheesy ME!!
the first one is Silvana Sunset I took last Saturday. Love the silhouetted barn
2. Is a flock of Sanderlings taking flight on Camano Island
3. A Skagit Valley scene this past Spring. Snow Geese and Mt. Baker.

Just beautiful!! Our fair limits entries to 3..of anything at all. I usually enter a couple home canned things and a needlework something. Fair entries will have to be turned in this year about the same day or the day after I will get home from the hospital after my knee surgery..so I will get things ready ahead of time I guess. 4H kids can enter as many items as they want..so the kids, especially the two youngest, will be entering many items. I just love the fair. I hope I am able to at least go this year...but not sure.
Okay..your photos...I LOVE that top one ..I would choose that one for sure. And the bottom one...I love the mountains and the whole scene..just beautiful. The one of the birds is great too..gosh..it IS hard to choose!! I know you will do really well!!!

Marybeth - Wow! You are such a talented photographer. And your framing jobs are beautiful. Well, all three photos are A++++. But the first one made me go ...OHHHHHHHHH And the second one of the birds made me take a deep breath and let it out real slow. It may not have color, but it has movement and energy. I can almost feel the rush of wings. If you ever go 'pro', you can sell me prints of both those any day.

Just Beautifuly, Mary Beth! Like Janice, I absolutely exhaled when I saw the first one and adore both of the geese pics. The different levels in the last are wonderful. What a great eye!!!
I'm crossing fingers, so much luck! Let us know what happens!!!

Very Nice photoz!! - We just got the brochure for this years fair, and I'm debating on whether or not to enter anything...I'd like to enter some of my art, but not sure yet. Have to wait & see!!
Love these shots -- #2 is just amazing!!

Wow, those are all beautiful! This definitely brings back memories of exhibiting at the fair... what fun!
I'm not a photography expert, but I'm drawn to 1 and 2: the simplicity, contrast, and color of 1, and the movement in 2.
Whichever ones you pick, you'll do real well! :D

There is something about #2 that I love. It is not easy to get good clarity like that and it's an excellent shot. #1 is beautiful and fabulous color. #3 speaks for itself, absolutely gorgeous million dollar view. Gee, I'm a big help, aren't I?

Really nice MB, You really have an eye for a great picture. I love the Barn one, I think everyone loves pictures of Barns. Do you sell them at the fair too?
