    I think all of these have great potential but are all too centrally composed and focused. Move your selective focus to one side or the other and have the barb in focus at the front or in the back to create more depth.

    These are just okay and of these I prefer the last because of the sweet background.

    That last one is very well done.
    The upper left corner detracts from the smooth gradient though.

    number 3 is great but as mentioned above, maybe try and clone out the upper left hand side.

    Yep, love the revised version, its a keeper :)

    Not sure its my failing monitor but it looks theres a slight circular "blob" on the far left just above the wire. to my eye it looks like a clone stamp which hasnt quite merged with the surrounding area.

    I like number two, the background is very soothing in that one.. :) Reminds me of an old swedish photographer/photoshopper (Beck, satansrike.com guy if any knew/know him). The redish/darkish corner over into a lighter grey are really gives it a desolate and cold look. I love it! :D

    (guess I'm the odd one out :P )

    I like #3 the best... especially with the updated treatment.

    I have to disagree with most of the comments. I see #2 as the most interesting. The focus area and how the subject blends into and out of a very interesting and cool bokeh makes for a much superior photo over a technically nice but boring #3.

    I think i agree, i've always liked #2 more =o! But it seems people are going for #3, down to personal prefrence i guess.

    I really like #2 as well. If I had not seen the new version of #3, I would have said #2 was my favorite. I think the new #3 is better than the old #3, but #2 is very nice! thumb.gif
