Help me decide which to hang on my wall

[allanrube]

Below are shots from my Florida trip that I have already posted. I want your opinion as to which one I should hang on a living room wall at home.

I placed all 4 here:

Thanks in advance.

Hi Allen, No matter what the picture is of, to be a pleasant experience it must compliment the room or be a direct opposite in coloration. Whether this picture is a Picasso or a MonaLisa. My personal pick is 2 of 4 of your photographs.

Just remember, opinions are as numerous as the Stars in the Universe. Rob...................

As I said before, number 4 is the best of the bunch. Dramatic sun rays and the out of the box shot. Well done Allan.

[Doug Brown]

Number 4 is tops, but I also like number 3 (I'm a bird guy after all).

[Dave Mills]

3 or 4 is my choice...

[Dan Brown]

3 and 4 are very nice. I choose #3 because of the bird:t3 and sun as points of interest along with the bridge, giving the viewer something to focus on after taking the whole scene in. Also, the overall tone is warmer and the cloud line is very nice. Hope it fits your decor?

Egret and Sun.

I'm a bird person but being so small the Egret isn't the focus of the image to me. But with the Egret and sun it says Florida to me.

Thanks for all the responses. I am reaching a decision, actually a confirmation on the one I always liked best, but will wait a few more days to decide.

I decided to go with the egret and sun. The dramatic sky image was my first choice but after looking at the images for a few days I decided the red color of e&s was something I liked more than the yellow of dramatic.

I have a problem with the dark water between the egret and the bridge, but no matter what I have tried in different layers - blur, then increase contrast and saturation to get it to fit with the rest.

I posted my poll here, on Nikon Cafe, and for photo friends on FB.

Dramatic skies had the most votes (39) followed by the egret and sun with 28.
