Fair florals

[bethard728]

Boy, I haven't been around here for a while and I sure have missed it! Life has been keeping me busy! Anyway, I'm getting ready to select my county fair entries and I need help deciding on my florals. I can enter one 4x6 or 5x7 and one 8x10 or 11x14. Digitals are supposed to be non-manipulated but I may crop the one of the rose a little.
This first one is a thistle which technically is a weed but I'd say for the purposes of the contest, it's a floral.

Lily

Rose

I'm thinking of entering this one as a scenic landscape. Do you think it would qualify or is it still a floral? They disqualify you if you put it in the wrong category.

I have some of my other entries for other categories on my flickr page if you want to check them out. I'd love to hear your comments! Thanks so much!

I'm no expert myself (yet) but my choice is the lily as well there is something in the color and they way the flower fills up the entire shot,but thats just me
best of luck !

The lily is a pretty color, but to me the image doesn't stand out as much as the first one. The thistle is a fantastic shot. I love the DoF and the perspective of the composition. It's much more unique than the lily. I like the a last shot too.

Good luck with the competition!

Love, love, LOVE the second one. I think it has a great composite, wonderful coloring, and it screams floral to me
