which picture?

[ymke franssen]

hey everyone, I have a problem, and I could use some critique if anyone is willing to help...
I'm going to submit ONE of my pieces for a competition, and I'm not sure which one. I'm thinking about these, but I can't seem to decide. its an open topic but we have to keep texture, symmetry, lines, patterns, and depth of field in mind. Also if you want to go through my album and select one you like, that would be wonderful. I want to thank everyone in advance already! it means a lot!

#1

[Colleen]

I think 4 is great!

[Missy]

4 for me!

[BirdNerd (Sandra M)]

I'm diggin' #2!

[Dieter Tracey]

I think 3 and 4 are the strongest

[Karen H]

I like 2,3, and 4 But if I must pick one it would be 2

[Mike]

I like #5. Really tells a story and there is a certain moodiness to it. The leading line of the bridge brings your eye right to the surfer as she ends her day. And the background reinforces the end of day. I think there is enough texture in the boardwalk (bridge?) and ocean.

[Chase]

I say #2, or #4. Great images!

@httpgeffed @mariboo @msk1p2 @dieter @tigerdreamer @burningjello thank you all for your help!

@mikehamm thank you, I like what you say about it telling a story!

[quin]

i love # 1 but would make only one change to it. get rid of the ship.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

They are all good- but if you're looking for texture, symmetry, lines, patterns and depth of field, #4 comes closest to that for me. It has the most of all those components in my opinion.

[Echoia]

I'd go with #4. It's not usually my type, but it works!

[Reba]

@olivetreeann said it well; I'd use 4 too

[ymke franssen]

I like 1 or 4! I think the composition of 1 is so intriguing.

1 or 4, although for a competition I think 4 might be stronger.

Just looked at your profile 15!! You are amazing!! : ))

[Laura Thornton]

I like 1 and 5, though one does look like an advertisement for a cruise line. Beautifull even if it is an ad!

[Miley]

Oh it's a toughy. I really like number 4

[Amy G.]

I love #4!

[Jester]

4 or 5.
Certainly not 1.
And I suggest that you remove your logo.

[Tams]

Out of just 4 or 5, defo 4 ;)

[ymke franssen]

@newbie @tamsg4 alright thanks :)

[Michelle Blackford]

I like #4 too...beautiful colors! I'm definitely a beginner and don't usually give my opinion; but if it were mine, I think I would straighten it a little. :)

[ymke franssen]

@tryeveryday It was the road that went downhill a little, other ways it will make the walls cricket if thats what you mean? thank you though!

[mag]

#1 has way too much sky..the judges may not like it...#2 is an excellent shot but some parts of the pelican are too dark #3 is OK but hard to tell what it is ...#4 is the best shot, nice colors nice composition...pick this shot...#5 is beautiful but some judges may think its too centered...#6 OK noting spectacular,, go for #4

[kaaaate]

I love the first one - others say it has too much sky but I think it creates the perfect effect.
