Which bench in the snow shot is "best"?

[kirbinster]

Which one of these three shots do you like best -- and why? I know they don't quite fit the rule of thirds and such but that would have gotten the road or too much of houses in the pictures and I did not want to do that.

wow looks like a fairytail, the 3rd pic is deffo my fave , its so tranquil but then again the second one makes me want to sit on the bench and take in all the beauty.

[DuckieLauren]

Either the second or the third.
If you want the bench to be the main focus, then go with the second, but the tree looks absolutely beautiful in the last shot.

Third pic is the best! It's a beautiful wide angle shot.

None: Take the first shot and crop it square from the left side. You'll end up with the tree and bench near the 1/3 right side.

second what Duckie said...

[kirbinster]

Thanks, I was leaning to #2 myself.

[Nick09]

I like the 2nd one the best.

I love the third shot. That tree against the blue sky in the upper left corner is amazing!.

I am going with the third, the only thing I dont like about it is the bench and the wide angle distortion. The tree kinda steals the show in it.
