Capturing the Sun

This is the other photo I am considering to enter into the Costco contest. This shot happened quite by accident. I was driving down the hiway, and coming from the other way was this bigtime truck. I held my old digital, didn't have my new Canon yet, out the window, and went click, because I wanted to get the gorgeous sunset, but the truck came at the same moment. I didn't even know it til I saw this photo on my computer. So the sun ended up being right between the truck cab and the load of huge trees he was hauling! What do you think? Please tell me which of the three photos you like best. The Outdoor Dining one, this log truck one, or the one of my granddaughter reading in the window to her dolly. The bad thing about that photo is that the window is really dirty, and I am not so sure that would be accepted as good in a contest. PLEASE give me some input. Thank you ever so much. I must turn the photo in by the 29th of Sep. Thanx again for looking.

And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

The silhouette of the truck makes this a special shot. Most interesting, I would say. Very nice work, Verena. I would enter it with confidence.

A good photo and it is funny how some things happen. I guess that is why they call them point and shoots. Just kidding. I like it but I like the outdoor one better. Just my Midwest opinion.

Superb capture, Verena! I really love the setting sun seen between the truck cab and load of logs it's carrying! I also like the silhouetted truck and trees on the left, and all the golden glory of the sky!

A difficult decision between the 3 picks you have uploaded as possible candidates for the contest you intend on enrolling, as I love them all. But, I think I prefer this one the best :) Best of luck to you hun :)
