Oh boy - as usual...down to the wire! C&C if you please! I have two ideas and don't know which to pursue - if any!:dunno Your advice would be appreciated.
#1 for me. I like the simplicity of the image as well as the colours.
#2 has the same nice tones & great dof but for some reason I find #1 more pleasing.
#3 has nice dof but lacks the colour for me & there are reflections on the upper surfaces of the cartridges that I find distracting.
#4 is a very nice image but doesn't work for me give the challenge parameters.
Out of these, I would say #2 is the strongest. If you do go with #1, I would crop out the closest one. Uneven numbers are typically more pleasing compositionally. You could also try warming #1 up a bit to pull in the gold tones.

By the way very nice dof in all the images.

#4 is gorgeous! But I agree with Andman that it is not as much on theme as the others.
