Help me choose a picture to enter in the local fair

I entered some really great pictures in a few categories. One of them got 3rd or 4th place. I entered a decent (bur far from great) picture into the sunrise/sunset category and it won first place (not the pic with the geese - no animals were allowed in this category).

I've been pretty much off my feet for 2 months battling kidney stones (much better since I had surgery on Friday!) Unfortunately, I did not make it over to the fair to see the pictures. I just couldn't walk very far. I could drive right up to the building after the fair ended so by the time I got there to pick up my pictures, most of the other pictures had been taken home already. There were a few pictures remaining with ribbons... and some were good but many of them just had me scratching my head "why?". These judges certainly didn't seem to be looking for composition and didn't mind very distracting backgrounds. That's ok though. I enjoy taking the pics and I enjoy sharing them.

Congratulations.

Sorry bout those stones.
If they come out I'd do a macro photo series with them.
Perhaps even have one set in a jewelry piece.

Congratulations on your pictures! Sorry about the judges *muttering something about ahem*

I am glad you are better and I can't wait to see more of your pictures.
