Be true to self (my Object of My Affection rose photo) or vote for (forgot the titles) 1-A Shot of Cold Duck or 2-One Lounge Lizard a-Loggin'?
Yeah, my problem as well usually. Hate to admit it, but there are a LOT more people with a LOT more talent than I can muster on any given day. Hard to place a vote for one of my own when there are better photos that capture the idea and intent better than the ones I enter.

That's true. But I'd have been drawn to my photo even if I hadn't taken it. There's just something about seeing snow on beautiful flowers. Something unexpected and kind of...well...sad. LOL Ok, that's a little melodramatic. Sanspeur has a pic of some pretty flowers with snow on them. I know. I'm weird. I guess I'll go for the lounging lizard.
ETA: Taking a 3rd look at all, that was hard. There are a lot of good ones, for instance;
Red Hawk's December Morning Walk
meson's winter wonderland
Sanspeur's Trail at goldstream
fedupWNY's Snow White
warptedman's fresh frosted trees
Nephler's Looking across Palmer Hay flats (my backyard growing up)
Warptman's December 14th sunrise in Bethel Alaska
RayinAK's untitled one of frosted trees on a snow trail
Nephler's Mat Valley
Those are my favs

I think everyone deserves credit for getting out and taking the time to share with us all.so they are all winners.
I will vote for my own,as will my sister vote for mine since she is a member and fellow voter.any votes besides the two that i know, are a huge complement to me and greatly appretiated. .I have in the past contests ,been known to cast my vote for one other than my own,im sure lots of us have. Vote for what catches your eye and your imagination.I almost voted for another that i really liked. but for me,december in my state IS to cold for rocking, so i patted myself on the back,LOL
Merry Christmas All,Gran(Dian)
I like all your pics grannymontanny, always have and always will. Of course, we are here for fun and to motivate us to get and take pictures.
I love seeing all the different parts of our world and I love seeing the photographer's personality come through in their subject and titles.
Of course, some people like Redhawk and Sanspeur will always be my favorite, but sometimes a picture just speaks to me, much like a work of art might.
IMHO nothing is further from the truth than to say what poor judgement others may have because they voted for a certain picture. Enough said on that subject.

This is totally wrong outlook. It's cheating. It's unfair to others.
It means no one else stands a chance if your sister is a member
of City-Data that you automatically gain two votes.
I hope I'm not too forward as to post my own thoughts on this all (combined with the comments made in the "Home state" picture thread).
First, it's Christmas Eve. Second, anyone who enters a picture is one worth viewing and third, these themes and contests are created for the fun of photography, the enjoyment of taking pictures and sharing.
2G's has spent so much time running the themes, setting up the polls. We should all be more appreciative for the honor of the "In your home state" themes.
No matter who gets how many votes, congrats to everyone who entered the contest.
Merry Christmas
