    Cupids Span...
    Golden Gate...
    Coit Tower...

    Okay - here's my take on it for what it's worth. First, I've got to say that I love the way you processed these images.

    Golden Gate - the only landmark I recognized - I wish there was something interesting to fill the rest of the image.

    Coit Tower - I've never heard of it. It's easy to see the tower and surrounding buildings, but the center is just parking lot.

    Cupid's Span - I had to google it to figure out what I was looking at. Aside from seeing the artwork and surrounding buildings, I can imagine a face in the center of the shot.

    My pick would be Cupid's Span (now that I know what it is :D).

    I like the last one because of the blue building which I find draws me in to the image and also the Golden Gate Bridge because it is recognizable.

    I like the photo of the Golden Gate Bridge; but how about cropping it in half so the black half is gone altogether?

    good point! Laughing.gif

    I personally like Coit Tower, but the painted street draws my attention as I try to read what's written.

    But....I love all three... :o)

    All three are unique, but Cupid's Span is more interesting.

    I like one Cupids Span. Very unique in an abstract way. Looked at photos of the site and saw nothing approaching your take on it. Excellent composition.

    I vote for Cupid's Span. I like Golden Gate, but a bit too much darkness. Coit Tower is interesting, but I'm not crazy about the trees sticking out.

    Looks like a LOT of work went into those!

    Personally the second picture is NICE. So nice, it's not even funny. If you turn it sideways like the moon it looks like an eclipse. (if you PS the moon into the picture it would just look INSANE).

    I vote for Cupids Span. Looks like eyes, lashes, and a mustache.

    Hmm.. these are all really NEAT! But if I had to choose one I'd go with Cupid's span. because of the distortion the foreground becomes the largest part of the picture, and Cupid's Span has the best.
