the 2nd shot looks to me to be the strongest photo you have....The 3rd is confusing....can't tell what I am looking at.....part of photo 1 is obvious and the rest of the shot is a bit abstract. The 4th would be my second choice but it looks like the camera moved just a hair.....at least to my eyes.......like the concept though.

Hi there,
nice to see you on here again, I too like No2 best but feel it could do with a little sharpening (maybe just my poor eyesight). I like the feel on No 1 but feel No 2 is simple yet effective. Hope this help's.
David.

Thank you to everyone for your opinions, from them, I realized these pics were not great at all.....so rather than get discouraged, I pulled out my tripod and my external flash. Just recieved the email today about repetition in photography so decided to go with the grater idea......I feel much better about this one.
