Default Help... I need your opinion with these...

Which perspective do you prefer? I can't make up my mind which photo I like best and which frame suits them better.

I like the second one best. I like the different textures in the forground and the contrast the water adds. I also like the repetitiveness of the things in a row (rocks, trees, buildings). The photo also has a great depth of field because of the layers of repetition. And last , it has a clear subject. The last two don't have a clear subject,they leave you wandering what the subject really is. Great shot in my opinion.

I'm with the others. For over all appeal I like the second one but it depends on what you're after.

It really does depend on what you are going to use them for. If I were to hang one on my wall it would be #4. The shells are bright and well focused, makes you think of sun and sea and warm. I find the other pictures rather cold looking,

Thanks everyone for your help. I was wanting to know which viewpoint people prefer landscape photos like these to be taken in.
