I'm considering entering some images into a photography contest and was curious which of these you thought were best. I can only use one or two, so choose wisely. Also feel free to comment on any of the images.
Snowy tree.
John Hancock Center.

If you have to choose, I would probably pick the second image of the John Hancock Center. The way you photographed it, the image is stiking and long, which is cool. It's no taller then the first one but you get the illusion that it is.
For a second, the first tree is good. Right away, it had an impact and I had to stare at it for a while before I knew quite what I was looking at. For an instant, I thought it was a photoshopped image. It wasn't until I looked at it some more that I saw it was actually just a very snowy tree.
The others, I'm not so fond of. For one, the first John Hancock Center rather pales in comparison to the second one because the illusion of length isn't here like it is in the second. The water droplet picture isn't on my list of picks for the fact that the center of attention (the water droplet) isn't all that appealing. And the picture of the three trees simply, for me, doesn't have the impact of the first one.
But thats just me.
Anyway, good luck on the contest.
Never forget who you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.
I actually love your first image, the tree looks beautiful and the way it is photograph shows just a maze of branches. That would be my favourite. I also like your second picture, I agree with Lilymore, it is the best photographed out of them in my opinion but the first is the best idea.
Good luck...

Wow, I really wasn't expecting that. I thought it would be a bunch or flowers or something, but your photography skills are amazing.
I liked all the pictures going up as if we are so small.
I didn't like the frozen water drop. It was cool but in this collection it was like "find the odd one out".
The last one, another snow tree" I couldn't tell if that was one tree or three.
I liked the look no matter what. I loved the image of three pillars rising up then connecting at the top.
The third image is interesting. The way it was shot at an angle gave the building a different perspective then the one above it.
The first John Hancock Center I didn't like a much. Too plain and there is a flag right in the middle of the picture that ruins the simplicity you were probably going for.
Honestly, the first tree is SICK!
The way the snow is only on the top, creating a halo around the tree.
Anyways, there is some major talent here. Keep it up!
Enter the first and third picture. Third picture first!
the frozen water drop does stand out in this collection but i thought it was very cool. all the pictures are very nice. they were very clean cut. nothing gritty or extremely pretty. Just clean cut photos that would fit nicely in a magazine or website
Thanks for your comments, they've been very helpful. The overwhelming response is that I should enter the first and third images, so unless I take some more pictures, those will probably be the ones I enter.
Thanks again for your help!
