Number #1 is just crazy cool and has a "pop art" element to it and for this reason im leaning towards it - it's not just a photograph it's also art. i'll vote when i log on again but its looking like #1 -------------------- Do You Want The Truth or Something Beautiful?

Could've easily have gone with #5 as it makes my pulse race but have to go with #3 this time - just love the softness of the solar glow and the reflection it gives.. -------------------- Woz..

The sharp line of the cactus in contrast - yes I'm anal about things like this. I like no. 3 but I wonder who much is natural color and how much is added? If it is 100% natural then it's awesome, but I wonder..... I do like these photo polls - interesting to see what people are into visual wise -------------------- Cheers and all the best, Honor My Webpage

Rolling Stone Group: Local Expert Posts: 14509 Joined: 5-November 07 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Member No.: 103914	Yeah, I think it matters. A lot! Blogging is supposed to be about being objective, not distorting the truth, while still speaking your mind. So photos in blogs should be just as truthful. As long as you are using your camera, I don't think it's a false representation of the place. As soon as you put a Photoshop filter on it, it has become something else. -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara

Currently living and teaching in Shaanxi Province China Member No.: 277 Nominate me as a Local Expert	HaHaHa I'm voting for No:1 as ALL my photos are off line and crooked plus it makes me feel like I'm actually standing there taking it myself. Most would step to one side of the pole that is right in front of the camera. I too would have kept it in the shot! Awesome mate! -------------------- http://www.travelpod.com/members/eddakath Grab a beer N click here Who knows, maybe you'll stay awhile
