Need Help

OK! I have decided to enter this contest: Mama Focus Photo Contest!
I need to narrow my selections down to two pictures.

From the site:

We hope to see photos that show us what modern motherhood can be like: the ugly and the beautiful. We are looking for pictures with a fresh, unique perspective or that capture a moment, convey a feeling, or tell a story. We want interesting and unexpected shots that give us a peek into real mamahood.

Some themes you might choose to explore (but anything goes!): Self & Solitude, Work & Play, Sleep (or lack thereof) & Dreams, Nature & Nurture.

Composition and photographic excellence don't count, just pictures that capture a moment of motherhood. In my case, here are the contenders:

1)
Sunset Crater. Photographed by Konal.

2)
Wupatki Blowhole. Photographed by Konal.

3)
Working on Home Improvements. Photographed by Konal.

4)
Graduation. Photographed by Mom.

5)
At the Zoo. Photographed by Chris.

6)
Taxi Mom. Photographed by Aidan.

7)
Tackle Hugs in Tombstone. Photographed by Chris.

8)
Graduation. Photographed by Chris.

9)
Ready to go. Photographed by Aidan.

10)
Head Bonk in Vegas. Photographed by Chris.

11)
Vacation Fatigue. Photographed by Chris.

12)
Fishing with the Boys. Photographed by Chris.

13)
Taking a Nap. Photographed by Chris.

14)
Long Day. Photographed by Chris.

15)
Photographed by Chris.

Now you see why I am having a problem choosing. Please leave your vote in the comments. They have to be submitted by 11/30.  (I invite you to enter too-  for me, it is not about winning, but about capturing the diversity of being a mother)

It's probably a sign of our times that the Graduation shots say "Graduation" more than "Mom." Ideally, we'd have you doing everything, then photoshop them together, so you'd resemble a poly-armed Hindu diety.

LOL. Although I like the uniqueness of the Grad Photo. The hard part is just picking two. I will have to see what others say. ZenJen voted for Fishing on Myspace. Zan votes for Graduation and me driving.
