I think all these are great shots (some may complain on the harsh sunlight but that's unavoidable) and the problem is that I can't choose the best. I was hoping you could pick out your favourite(s). --Fir0002 22:29, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I like 3 best, followed by 4. However, I don't think I would vote for either; they are beautiful, they are encyclopedic, but I'm so fantastically uninterested in the subject that I'm not personally motivated to support them. I'm not sure that I would oppose any of the them, though, as they are very nice. To me, 3 & 4 are simply more dynamic and interesting (I love the flying dirt in 3). I don't like the loser and the flagger being out of focus in 4, but it really expresses the idea of a race. - Enuja (talk) 22:41, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- For an article on the machines themselves, it would have to be the first one, although (assuming it's not just over-exposed) it'd also have to be a highlights-recovered version. The fourth is easily the best candidate for the article <checks article, returns> and clearly you think so too :o) nothing says "racing" quite like two guys on the finish line, and you've got good light, keen focus and great composition there to boot. Or maybe it's really cos I like the green rig best.. --mikaul^talk 23:37, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
4 is simply a superb shot - just the right mount of blur on the loser to highlight the winner - best illustration of lawnmower racing in the set. 1,2,3,5 and 6 lack a race feel with the single mower only and the angle on the lead mower in 7 makes it look to static. 1 though is the best illustration of the machines themselves ...great set of shots - Peripitus (Talk) 06:16, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
