I think I like the one in the middle best. The colours in that one are the most pleasing to me:)

[robinwarner]

me too..the middle one is my pick

[Dorrena Ortega]

I have to say middle too. The colors are brighter and the subject is well defined.

[judith deacon]

Middle for sure - saturation of colour much better.

[Andy McAvoy]

I prefer the one on the left. But thanks for showing us what can be done.

[Liz (fotomama)]

i like the left...muted but intense tones:)

[Howard Steele]

i prefer the original but if you going on the edits the middle one

[Rick Schies]

That's tough. and a toss up, but I do like the left one, seems the person and the flag, central figure and clear. Nice

[stephanie dp]

I like the middle one first, and the right one second. cool collage.

[Michelle]

I vote the one on the right, though i dont know why I prefer it :)

[Courtney]

I love the middle one. I can't explain why. I think it's just a nice mix between the other too. Nice work!

[Amy Ecenbarger]

The middle most definitely!

[Paula Cook-Farkas]

I'm going against the crowd and say that the left is awesome, the way he stands out.

[Paula x2 Brumbe]

I think the middle is to my liking, but I think the left is part of your style and makes him stand out.

I, too, prefer the middle. All are good, however! :-)
