i liked the bottom one best.  They are definatly good contenders but i still think it is hard to pick the same as they would.

I think the biggest thing is noise and good sharpness, things that are hard to tell without a 100% crop of the image.

I like the ideas of the photos and think that they should do well once they are touched up a bit.

I don't particularly care for the arrow.  I don't know why, but it just bothers me.  Maybe because the arrow is leading my eye out of the picture frame and away from the subject.  I would suggest just circling the area without the arrow.

The last photo has a Texas Instruments logo and needs to be removed.

Also, the paper looks a little blue.  You might want to check the white balance on the photos.

Hope that helps...

I think I agree with you on the arrow part.  As for the Texas Instruments, I have taken that out of the file I would be sending.  I think one may have a bit too much blurriness, but the comments are great - I appreciate it.

If this is for you first submission, I wouldn't put in a series of photos (ie with the same subject).  You wouldn't want to be rejected for having similar shots as opposed to technical merit.
