Guys, I need your help. I'm joining a company photo contest with STREET as the theme. Can't quite decide between these 3 photos as to which would be my entry. Appreciate if you can chime in by picking your choice. Comments welcome as well.

Thanks in advance. :)

    i like the first one a lot but its a shame there are cars over the signs. if the first cars were gone and the signs come from under the second line of cars telling the viewer which way they are going it would be great. IMO in this set, the third one is best. #2 is also nice but maybe a bit overdone for a contest? ne_nau.gif

    I think my preference goes out to #2. I think #3 is good as well. I think it would have been even better with a bit of motion blur, perhaps.

    I'd go with #3, but cropped from the top to just behind the base of the statue (wish there was a crop tool here ne_nau.gif). Good luck!

    i say second one. it is a very symetrical image, but the lighting and exposure make it so complex and fun to look at. having the posts down the middle really make it happen. great images on all three though.

    I prefer number 3. To me, it is more interesting than the other two.

    I miss people!! Imagine a couple kissing in the middle of the street in #2, or a flock of bicycles in #3 (cropped), or a couple of young children holding hands and crossing (or a dog) in #1.

    I like 3#3 the best. I'm always a sucker for those lights in #2 but I think #3 fits the theme better.
