    I prefer #3 - love the rich colours, especially the green of the ivy. Great take on the theme.

    I'm leaning more toward #4. I like the B&W treatment better in that one over #2. You did lose some detail on the mailbox on the far right, though. How about masking the front of the mailbox from #2 into #4? headscratch.gif

    Sorry to be different, but my preference would be #2, I would just maybe lighten up the blacks a tad....love the mailboxes idea!

    I agree with Karin--#2 with the blacks lightened just a bit.

    I would pick #2 out of this group as well. I like the green ivy a lot, but that is not the subject of the picture.

    #3 was the one that struck me as well. The colors on this one are fantastic, even if that's not what you were originally going for.

    I like #2. I might add a tad more contrast to bring out the blacks a little more. Nice take on theme!

    Beautifully shot and processed Karin, but honestly, none of them speak to me with story.

    I'd say #2 or #5. I wish the middle mail box weren't visible in #2 though.

    Thanks for all of the comments, everyone! I went out and took a lot of shots, looking for more story. I think I found some good candidates, but just ran out of time to process and post for comments.
