I've dealt with state fair and that's where I'm coming from. Pick unusual. One of schoolhouse with Stacie walking towards it is good. Yes good lighting and in focus photos are necessary for a great photo. Looks like you had fun. The special Lily photo is priceless. She is really growing. Take care.Grandmabeckyl.blogspothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04362600588981799211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55554914262786074.post-6525180558948993012013-07-18T18:53:24.819-07:002013-07-18T18:53:24.819-07:00By the way, what camera do you have anyway?

The stove is in focus with the background blurred and it looks good. The milk can and the teasel on the side of the building are in focus and look good, although I would say you might have pulled that picture back just a smidge because the one is cut off a little at the top. I love the dragonfly but it's very busy with all the greenery around it.<br /><br />I'm not an expert but these are things I have been told to look for when entering in contests. If I were to choose though, I'd go for the stove, the milk can or the teasel. :)<br /><br />Sorry we missed you guys this year. We had family plans before we contacted you and wouldn't have been able to see you before that. We did get a few days at Wallowa Lake this year though, and we got to see Billy and Kay as well. Believe it or not we ran into him at Wal-Mart!RaDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05470940477741344533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55554914262786074.post-69615750273808447692013-07-18T13:27:48.081-07:002013-07-18T13:27:48.081-07:00Three of my favorite things--historic sites, wildf...Three of my favorite things--historic sites, wildflowers and children out in nature! I SO wish that some historical preservation society had restored that old schoolhouse--I absolutely love them!<br />My fav photos were the one of Lily and the one with the milk can:)Love the weathered wood---<br />Blessings, <br />Aimeeaimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255823818961459112noreply@blogger.com
