1. You have narrowed it down to these two...
hmmmm...........I think I like #2 better, but I have seen others that I like even more...if I recall correctly.

Seems like you have a night shot that I remember thinking was really spectacular :shrug:

Neon...or light streaks ?? I think it is you. I think you posted here or in the Lounge maybe a month or so ago. I would like to see it again before I give you a final decision of what I would choose....

4. I have this night shot
the other ones aren't as good. The tower is out of focus on most of the night pictures.

8. Now I'm stumped. I think they all rock. But for the contest
I think the Geraniums would hit the spot. Look at it with the top white sliver on the right removed, just re-crop it. Then to me it more looks like the streaming light hits the flowers.
So that's my vote and seconded by the last one the light tower.
The sunset is fabulous, but its not about sunsets, its about your yard.
I could talk out of both sides on this issue, love them all.

9. I like the geraniums too
I guess I'm reading the contest as a "photo taken in your yard" to be more about something actually in the yard/balcony/walkway/commonspace rather than from your yard.

All the shots are interesting, though.

13. either/or I think
Itchinjim wants a liberal interpretation. I take it to mean a photo taken in your yard of something else is okay.

15. That is what I like about it too
I think it will be the picture I enter. Do you think the original version is better or the cropped one?

16. I think I like the cropped one.
I don't have a particular problem with that blown out light at the corner, but cutting it out makes it a little more mysterious about where the light's coming from.
