Default Help me choose! Please!!

Can I get your help to pick a portrait for a photo contest? http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...&id=1302467210

I'd love your opinion on which one I should submit.

If you're interested, the contest is here:
http://digital-photography-school.co...y-competition/

My only condition on you entering the contest is that your photo may not be better than mine. LOL!

Well, I really like no. 16 of the baby with the sky in the background, however, after reading that it is a portrait contest, I'm thinking you should submit no. 13. the lighting on that shot is BEAUTIFUL!

THANK you all!! It's been interesting to see what people like.
Seems that #2 and #13 are the most popular with all the people I've asked, with 10 and 11 being close, too. Decisions, decisions...I'm still not sure which one to pick. I was hoping there would be a clear winner. Oh well, it will probably be one of those two. Thank you for your help!!

I like them all, but for some reason I really like number 12. Nobody else picked that one, so don't take my word for it though!
