Need help selecting photos

[Catherine Read]

So I've been tasked with the mission of selecting my top 3 shots from South Africa to be put on canvas for a launch event to a rhino conservation charity, the only problem is I'm terrible with making choices so if anyone can help me and pick their favorite's that would be really helpful.

I've got a bunch of the shots on my instagram here

So hard to choose because your shots are all incredible. But, really, I think that just means you can’t go wrong.

These are my picks for the canvas:

Those are all so awesome!

My personal favorite is the deer with a mouthful because it is both an excellent photo, and also funny.

Mother and baby rhino is a must, it symbolises everything the charity is trying for.

The sunset is so gloriously eye catching that it would also spark people's interest.

The cheeky character of the zebras also really appeals to me.

 

[Mary Terry]

I love the zebras and the deer-like animal with salad hanging from its mouth. All of the photos are beautiful.

 

[Kitsuna]

Giraffe + Mom and baby shot + the last landscape shot.

The baby rhino shot ties into conservation, two types of giraffes are also endangered and it’s a popular animal, and land needs to be conserved to save species.

If not the giraffe shot, the zebra one.

(IMHO.)

All are great shots!

What a dilemma!

But then all I see is an elevated quality of photography. -PERIOD.

Always my first impression. Strikingly great images, whatever they may depict.

That whatever you choose, you cannot go wrong.

I agree with @Outdated and @Kitsuna, the rhino with it's baby really is a must considering what it's for. The other two are a bit harder to choose. They are all so good.

Thanks for the input so far guys! Very much appreciated. The animal with the grass in it's mouth is called a Kudu

I also considered this Kudu shot as a possibility, it's hard to choose when it's your own picture lol

I also considered this Kudu shot as a possibility but think I might like the first one better.

I like that. The kudu looks like it's gone to a holiday celebration.

All great photos. Since it is rhino conservation, I would stick to the two rhinos, and the third one of the landscapes. Environment is a big part of animal conservation.

If you want to win, research what the judges like.

The 2nd Kudo, Rhino pair and Giraffe. But all are fantastic. Your are very talented photographer.

It's not a contest, the owner of the reserve in South Africa invited me to be photographer for a month and asked me to pick the best three I'd taken on the reserve so they can be canvased and sold during the launch event. I'm just useless at making choices lol. Not bad advice though.

 

[RemyZee]

the zebras good at capturing a moment; rhino too

Are the photos going to be enlarged and printed on canvass? Which photos would still look good when they are blown up in size multiple times?
