Default Might be a future album cover (?)

Hi DPS friends,
These pictures were taken in Taormina, the pearl of Italy (well, one of the many). I fell in love with the place years ago, and always thought that the old Greek amphitheater would give an excellent scene and background for a portrait shooting session and maybe even a future CD cover (this is my ongoing project). So we went there this summer (were there on work anyway), and did an on location trial session.
Now, I just remembered that finally I have a chance to ask people on a forum to help by sharing ideas. Do you think any of these shots would be a good starter/base for a possible album cover (feel free to crop it to square, edit and repost it on DPS if you wish).
Many thanks for sharing your ideas and unbiased opinions.

Hi Annie, I'll leave the more technical stuff to the others, but just for feel, I like all of them but I'm not crazy about the second...something about the brick up against his face...I don't know...could just be me. I do love the background...you made a good choice there.

Yeah... looking again ... that would not probably be my no.1 pick, either, but I thought maybe others think differently ... never know... anyway, thanks for your note, I am really curious, so you already helped...
