I need some beta...lookers?

I have a favor to ask all of you, my wonderful LJ friends list.

A local newspaper is holding a photo competition, and I'm going to enter. Obviously, the point is to have the best looking photo. First prize is a Canon Powershot digital camera. As a matter of fact, all prizes are Canon products. Judging will be on these criteria:

--General Interest
--Composition
--Techical Merit
--Appeal

But I want some suggestions. I can enter 5 pics, max. I went through my hundreds of pics, and have narrowed it down to 28. You can check the 28 out here: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v242/LLoire/Schenectady%20Photo%20Competition/

Feedback is greatly appreciated. With the 5 I end up choosing, I'll make 8x10s and submit them.
