Hey, I could sure use some help here.

I posted here about how I have to whittle almost 500 photos down to 20-25 before Tuesday. Well I've gotten down to 37. I'm walking away from these for a bit because I can't see straight at the moment.

You could help me break my own ties but letting me know which of these you like the best. Even 3-5 (or less or more) would help me.

I've numbered each photo below the photo. You can click on any of the photos to enlarge them.

Edit :: You can also view these on Flickr here. I think there's a way to favorite them - which would also work.

1) Parish of St. Mark Altar

2) Parish of St. Mark altar. Where I experimented with a zooming technique.

34) Above :: Greek Orthodox. This is the same photo as #33. However 33 was is shown as shot without any white balance correction. #34 has been corrected for white balance. I cannot decide which I prefer. Overall this church was way too "golden and yellow" for me. I find I have a natural preference for blue tint and I constantly have to watch that I don't go too far in that direction. However, I do like the colors in #33 even if they are not technically "correct" (#34 is technically correct.) Our instructor asked us to bring some photos that we had questions and/or problems with. I think I may bring both of these to trigger a conversation on white balance.

35) Above :: Greek Orthodox murals on right side.

36) Above :: Greek Orthodox murals on left side. I admit to having a fascination with the first mural on the far left of this wall. In the middle bottom of that photo is a human skull. It kept attracting my attention.
