I vote for # 7 as it seems to me to be more representative of the area and is done well.

#7 is my choice. As a professional photographer, I believe number seven represents an understanding of the area.

Set #5 is my fave, so it gets my vote! I like the mountain pic and I like the way the dog is drinking from the water in the second pic. It’s cute!

I vote for #8. Each of these photos manages to capture the unexpected beauty of this area. Very professionally done. I also enjoyed #1.

They are all great pictures. I like the black and whites, and the goat……but if I have to pick A set I say #5. Great use of color.

I like #4, I’m a sucker for b/w pics. I also love the dog and the pool. All the photos are great tho.

They are all beautiful, but I especially love set #7. The first in the set is especially lovely in the way it displays serenity and grandeur. And the horney toad photo captures his pose perfectly!
