I created several more versions of my "Wreaths for Vets" collage, but I cannot decide which one I like the best or if any of them are any good at all. Would you please help me?

I'll post the first two version again that were in my first thread.

#1 1107249781_aZmuQ-L.jpg

#2.

#6

#7

I 'think' I'm sort of favoring one of the last two, but I just can't decide. Thanks for your help & any comments and/or constructive criticism you care to offer.

    2, then 5, then 6, then 7...or backward...lol... no, I think FIVE, if you have any photo for location 6 that could be flipped so the person is facing in?? the problem of course is you cant read the name on the stone...because if you flip this one, it'll be backward.... but you have a nice series here...

    Thanks Diana & Trish.

    I thought of flipping one of the people images so that it was facing the other direction, but realized the names on the headstones would be backwards. I had a number of shots with people facing the other direction, but I was a ditz & took the pictures portrait mode. I guess I was so caught up in the moment that I forgot I needed to stay landscape for this challenge. I tried various crops, but I wasn't able to get a pleasing composition out of those other images. Grrrr.

    As usual, I think I had a pretty good idea but I wasn't quite able to pull it off the way I wanted to. Another 'almost but not quite' attempt. I am a bit disappointed in myself over this one. :cry

    Thanks for the feedback. I REALLY appreciate it.

    I like # 6...I like how each picture is very different from one another.

    I really like the balance in 3, 4 & 5 - I think I am drawn to the ones where the individuals are laying wreaths in positions 4, 6 & 8. Even though they are all faced the same way, they still maintain a balance. And in looking at it again, the only difference I see between 4 & 5 is maybe a different contrast (or I'm just not seeing it this morning) - I like #4 better for richer colors.
