After posting a "cragged" image, I thought I might as well ask for folks' opinions on some other photos. As always, thanks for the critical (but polite) feedback.

These were taken on a family trek up to Timpanogos cave in American Fork canyon in Utah. It was a beautifully rainy day. Thanks for looking and even greater thanks for your feedback.

Which is your favorite? (in terms of the contest, and in general)

1.) Adversity


2. Adversity with a craqueluer/paper look


3. Adversity- lighter shot w/ paper look (focused on darker areas to get more light)


4. Mountainside


5. Mountain marble


6. Heart of Timpanogos


7. Cold hearted Timpanogos (inverted heart, I thought this looked cool)


Thanks for the input!

I can't see them...but I like the first one the best for this theme.
(I loaded the images individually from the url)

(edit)Now they're showing up...

I agree, I like the first image best for this theme.

#1.

I will be so bold as to dispense with the filter overlays, unless it really makes the difference. Let the photography speak the message.

# 1, perhaps cropped a bit to focus on the subject that is craggy. Have you tried less sky?

The filters are way too gimmicky.

#1 (with a bit more contrast) is my favorite as well.

I too feel that texture overlays take away from an image in most cases,
at least in a web format.

thanks for the feedback
Thanks to everyone for the great feedback. It seems we're all on the same page. I have to run an errand right now, but if I have time when I get back, I'll try some differnt crops and contrasts.
