Help from the LJ Brain Trust, Part 2

[hellziggy]

Last week I asked y'all to help me figure out which photos to enter in the PhotoShop TV contest. I've got all the pics you guys mentioned under the cut here. There is also a poll at the end for you to let me know your favorites of these. Thank you!

I wasn't paying attention to what the photo contest was so I don't know what type of photography might be best. That giant swallowtail is classic. And the partially colored Pillsbury building is almost mystical.

But that milkweed literally took my breath away. I actually gasped when I saw it. I wanted to reach out and touch it, so soft and immediately approachable it was. If I could only pick one, the milkweed would win hands down. Absolutely.


Did I mention that I like the milkweed one?

But what do you really think of it? *grin*
The photo contest is from Photoshop TV and it is just one winner and they just pick the one picture they like best. It can be either a photoshopped image or a straight photo and each person can enter up to 3 pictures.

Well then you should enter milkweed and definitely the partially colored Pillsbury because I'm sure you'll get secret brownie points for using Photoshop on at least one. The milkweed will win, but the Pillsbury will be runner up.

You know how Adobe always uses a partial image from nature for their icon or trademark-- like a feather or a butterfly or a flower pattern? Wouldn't it be awesome if they chose your milkweed?
