Not Engaged Yet

Want to help me pick pictures?

So my STD proofs came in today!  Whoot I am so excited!  But I don't like at all what picture I choose.  So I was looking through my photo albums today to try and find a recent one of us in this past year.  I am down to about 9.  So want to help me pick?  I really want to pick something that reflects our love for adventures.  Which ones do you like and why?

Option #1- Take on an Oregon beach


Option #2 California Redwoods

 
Option #3 Desolation Wilderness



Option #4 Monterrey Bay Aquarium

Option #5 Academy of Sciences- San Francisco



Option #6 Meadow Hike



Option #7 Another Meadow Hike



Option #8 Canoeing




Option #9 Canoeing




I am not totally happy with any of them but such is life.  What do you guys think?

    I like option 3. I don't think any of the options that you can tell you were taking your own picture are a good choice unless your STDs are super casual.

    I like Option #2 the CA Redwoods. I like that it's not just a head shot. You can clearly see where you are and it looks like you're off "adventuring" in the wilderness. Plus, with you up on his shoulders you look like a fun-loving, thrill-seeking couple to me!

    #3 would probably be my second choice.

    Option 2 or 7. They are all good, but those two standout as being fun pictures to use for a STD!

    I agree with Tiger. I would see if you could use Photoshop or something to brighten #7 a bit though if you use that one.

    I liked number 3 the best. It's so cute! Maybe cropped so it's a bit closer though.

    I have officially inspected your rear end and I see no whale-ness, lol. But, if you're sensitive about it or uncomfortable with it, you could crop it like this and make a cool long picture.

    Two isn't really working out :(  It's all fuzzy and I can't get it to sharpen.  :(

    Sadly, The way it is cut won't work in my STDs.

    I like #2 and #3

    Other than that, I would suggest taking a few new pictures.  Grab a friend, or even use the timer on your camera.  I'm not a huge fan of the pictures where it's clear you're taking them yourself for a STD. (*snort* sexually transmitted disease *giggle*)

    What about your profile picture? I know it's not really of your faces, but it has your love for adventure and each other all wrapped up into one pic.

    I like 2 and 3, and I also like Ely's cropping suggestion for 3 if you're concerned about your booty, though to me it does not look remotely whale-like. :)

    Love #2. My second choices would be #7, and #8, although I feel like #8 is a little strange since your FI is in the background instead of even with you.

    We ended up picking three!  I sent them to my invites lady and she said that she loved this one.   :)  Thank you all for your opinions!  When I get the proof with the picture in it I will post!! :)  Thanks for not making me feel like a whale!
