Help me choose!

I've decided to enter another photo contest today and I need help picking which picture I want to use. It's a contest through I Heart Faces and it is in honor of girlfriends for Blissdom '10. The theme is "Girlfriends" and my first thought was to use one of the pics I snapped of the three lovely best friends from last May. But the problem is, I can't decide which one I like better. This is where my loyal readership (all 3 of you) comes in. Help me pick which photo to use and I will be forever grateful.

I kind of know which one I am leaning more towards, but could really use some extra eyes! Please leave a comment and let me know which one you like better!

Trying my hand at editing

I haven't been obsessively taking pics for about the last month or so. When I was sick, my joints hurt so bad that I couldn't even pic up my camera. That's when you know it must have been bad.

The problem now, is that I am feeling the need to create but I have no recent pics to work on. But I happen to have thousand upon thousands of pics from the last few years that I can work on.

I can't seem to get photoshop elements to work with my computer, so I have been using paintdotnet for all of my editing.

Here are some that I have been working on the last few days. (And I would appreciate any constructive criticism you can offer!)

This is Brooke's Cash. Isn't he dreamy?

I am in love with this castle picture!
