WHO IS THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHY CRITIC? I WANT SOME GREAT ADVICE PEOPLE! ;D?

Yeah, so, sry if the question freaked u out a bit. I wanted ya'll's attention, and yes I'm from the south. XD

My question is that I need lots of really good advice! I'm planning on participating in the National Geographic International Photography Contest 2008 For Kids. There are 3 categories: Animals, Scenery, and People. I am planning on entering Scenery and maybe Animals. I already have the pictures, it's just I need lots of good advice and comments on them to decide which pictures to submit! This is the contest's website if u want to look at it.

Yeah, so this is a big deal because I'm not the greatest photographer in my family, but my older sister and dad are really good and I at least want to be a little closer to them in skill! My dad actually used to be a professional photographer. ^_^



So this is the link to my Flickr Photography Photostream:

And another thing is that I already asked a question like this about the Animal photos I have, and here is the link to that question.

Please, ya'll, or everyone if that term makes you feel better, HELP MEEEEEE! The deadline is November 3rd, 2008 which is next Monday! I have to send the pictures in before that, so please please please please help me! I want/need really awesome advice and comments on my pictures! Yes, I know some of them are a bit crappy, and I don't really want negative critisism, but I really need some nice advice/tips/comments/choices!!!!!! I'm looking for good advice, good critisism, constructive critisism and even some negative ones if it'll help me, your choice of photo that I should send in and why, and basically help!



People, I really, really, want to win this! I'm getting pretty stressed out about this, and yes, I know that I may not win, and heck I may not even get good answers to this question, but I just want to win and actually feel like there is a chance to win in this world! Life has been going pretty bad for me with my mom's breast cancer, giving my puppies away, and such, so people, winning this would really mean a lot to me.



PLEASE HELP AND THANK U SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!!!!!!

I think you need to set your site on the important things first, like your mom . Winning something is not going to make all the other things go away, you cannot count on this win to change everything else, what if you don't win! Are your pictures of the white dog and pink flowers? The close animal shot is the best I believe. What about talking to your dad, wasn't he a pro, he should help. WHO IS THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHY CRITIC?

So here's what I think.. (but it looks like you also have some bigger problems on your hands to deal with that's not photography...)



one thing I really like about this image is that it is really sharp.

although the right/top edge of your puppy's face looks a little blown out.



But I enjoyed that image the most out of all the ones you took.
