Having A Photo Go.

The Mudgeeraba Show is coming up on June the 23 and 24th this year. I don't have much in the way of preserves and I'm really not in the mood to kill myself cooking this year.  I have a couple of jelly preserves in the cupboard so I won't go without entering anything; however my motivation is low and I don't think I'll have the stamina to defend my grand win last year; that is; the Grand Champion Show Cook. What an honour, but boy this title doesn't come along without a good deal of work.

In this post, I'm not concentrating on food or cooking. I finally uploaded some pics taken on my European trip last year. Can you believe it? Only just now. I willingly lost myself pouring through the photos and escaped into the wonderland that is Montenegro . These pictures brought back so many memories; although I have hundreds upon hundreds.  I said to Nicka, "I want to enter some pics in the show this year". If Nicka enters I won't have a hope of winning, but hey that won't stop me. I'll enjoy the spirit of having a go, and hopefully someone will stop and admire my pictures. I need landscapes and portraits.  

I need your help. Please leave a comment and tell me which picture you like the best. I would like your opinion and please; only one picture stating the capital letter in the caption.  I'm having trouble selecting, so I'd really appreciate your help.  Thanks people from Mariana.

A - typical Montenegrin haystacks dotting the countryside.
 B - the first road nearest my Dad's home in Potrk.

C - same road

D - the countryside - I recall Nicka saying 'who needs Numinbah with hills like these'. She's right.

E - Lake Plav this side of Montenegro and the Albanian border crossing at the closest mountain

F - a soft pink sunset by the seaside in Tivat, Montenegro, my uncle lives here

Ps: take a look at what I'm up against in some of my daughter's work posted last year in Magical Montenegro. Now that's amazing photography! Oh well, I'm still havin' a go.

Extra Extra:
Note the two added photos below. Printed them off on the weekend and they both turned out so well. Much nicer than any of the above; although I was happy with "B". The water landscapes turned out quite awful actually - very pasty and washed out looking. Funny isn't it how you just can't tell till you get it in print.

G -The pic I enlarged that turned out surprisingly well in print. 


H - Stojanka in mourning over the loss of her beloved Vukica.
