1 is bad ass, but i think i like the lighthouse better.

1 on flora, and 3 on fauna
 
i pic 3, 1, and 1....great pics. although i dont dig the light house i would think from a photographic aspect it would be better...number one in flora is sick!
 
Thanks for the nice comments guys. My favorite of the whole group is the Trees. The scanned in copy does the original no justice at all, its such a cool pic.
 
Flora #1 catches my eye.
 
Nice composition all around. Are these film or digital for the contest requirements?

Because they're scanned in I can't tell if the color balance is being represented right but if you can deepen the rocks coloration on scenic #2 and reduce the white flaring of the sky a little during developing (film) or adjust the color balance (digital) I think it's the best composition. The colors on #1 and #5 are gorgeous but #1 has no central focal point to really lend "pop" to it and #5 would have been absolutely stunning if the water rippling hadn't marred an otherwise great mirrored effect. Definitely #2 for the scenic IMHO.

Flora: Trees. But #2 is a close runner up.

Fauna: Meerkats.
 
scenic #5
If you play around with curves in photoshop or gimp, you can get those colours really pop. Gives a great dramatic effect.

Flora #1. There's some great lighting and shadow play here.

Fauna #3 Great shot, good colurs and good motive.
 
Thanks guys!! They are all done with an old Minolta SR-T 101 35mm SLR camera. It was made somewhere between '66 and '75. Except Scenic #5 which was a digital point and shoot. Any idea for matting colors for the trees, meerkats, and Scenic #2 (another of my top favorites, it makes an excellent desktop background)?
