MC 4 -which Theme Should I Use?

Eia

Would you give me your advice? I’m trying to decide on which type of photo to go with this theme. I like the headless cactus if I can get back to this area at sunset time but that is ‘iffy’. The black and white was taken in the middle of the day while balancing in a boat which is the only way to get there. But, I do like the impact is giving.

Or, should I go with the sunsets in color behind the mass of power lines?
These are only samples and not worked photos; I need to narrow it down first.

Co-exist?:

I like the first and last ones of the co-exist series.

However, the first one is lacking "pop". I find myself wishing it had with more dramatic lighting or a more dramatic sky. But I really like the composition because of how the cactus plants mimic the high voltage thingies. The last one has the dramatic sky but I wish I could see more of the cactus. Is it possible to bring out just a little more foreground detail in that one? Just enough to make out the cactus??

Thanks, I hope to get at sunset tomorrow to re shoot the first if I can talk my husband into taking me. I agree that the cactus needs to be seen a little more in the last.

Here is the color version for Sacrifice:

Nice
I like the purple conversion, it really makes the cactus stand out.. My fav is the last one in your series... The towers almost mimic mountains with the sun setting between them...

Nice shot..

I like the last one too. The sun is so powerful it almost hurts my eyes.

* I'm personaly not sure if I would like to see more than just silhouettes in the foreground...
