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?

I think the partial B&W Pilsbury bldg. is the best bet.

It shows the best combination of photoshopped and straight image which I think will give it an edge in this contest.

Well, it wouldn't have helped to check them all so I just ticked my three favourites.

I particularly like the Minneapolis one - there's just something about the shape of the buildings that screams "the world of tomorrow!" at me.
