Default County Fair Entries

I'm going to be entering some of my photos in the local county fair. I'm really doing it more to exhibit than anything else. Besides the shots below, I'm also entering the photo you see as my avatar in a special effects category. But here are some of the photos I plan to enter in some of the various categories.

Domestic Animals category
Abandoned cat

Floral category
Raindrops On Rose Leaves

Still Life category
Strawberries 1

Domestic Animals category
Benny cropped

Thanks. That's one of those shots I got but didn't know what I had until I downloaded the card to my computer. It just blew me away. That shot is practically SOOC (just a crop).

Nice work Rusty. I'm not a cat guy but, the cat's face is just the cat's meow... Good luck.

That's my baby boy Benny. I also love that shot. Taken with my Canon 200mm f/2.8L Macro. Great lens.

These are all excellent in their own way Rusty I love the leaves with the water drops, so clear and sharp. They are all great though. Good luck with the entries, hope you win something.
