Hi,

I need an image for a small contest. Could you please let me know if any of these are worth entering? There isn't any theme to follow, just a picture.

These images are right our of the camera with only resizing done. I may add 'some' pop into one of the images if someone recommends it.

Thank you.

Thank you Bill. I have another one similar to the #7 but in landscape. Perhaps a bit less pavement?

With a little PP, #5 could look really nice (not that it doesn't already). I like the first one, but it's a pity that none of the birds are sharper.

I really like #5, but you might try cropping from the right side of the photo to put the bench about 1/3 or so into the photo instead of the center. Think it would balance out better. Also like the horizontal version of #7. Best of luck in the contest.

Thanks everyone.
For whatever reason, I keep leaning towards #1. I am hoping I will get at least few more comments to help me make a decision.
