Help me choose for a photo contest!

[Derrel]

Photo contests are very strange things. I'm going to buck the trend and say that the only shot you have that has a realistic chance of winning a prize is shot #3. Sure, it's weak on technical values (DOF is too shallow for the boy's head, but the ear is in-focus, and there's a slight shutter speed blur, but the blur HELPS!) but shot #3 of the brother kissing his little sister, with the baby's eyes looking strongly to the side and her mouth in a big wide, open "Ooooo!" expression is the only real, genuine "moment" captured in any of these. Shot number three is a weak "photograph", but a very strong "picture", and most photo contests are all about the pictures.
