    I have a definite preference for #2. It is the strongest "silhouette" image and the starfish adds a wonderful touch. With #3, a different crop and aspect ratio may strengthen it as she seems to be too close to the top in the current rendition.

    Of these #2 is the strongest image imho.
    #3 doesn't work for me but #1 with a different crop losing c25% off the bottom might be interesting, all that "dead space" water detracts from the image for the challenge (once again imho).

    #2 for me as well.
    #3 is okay, but the pose looks "too posed" (IMO)

    1 is good but i agree with cropping some of the water out. 2 is very strong

    I also agree about #1. #2 needs the horizon straightened just a tad...but is a great composition. #3 really does looked like some kind of ad. Too posed.

    #2.

    I have only posted a few times, and entered the challenges a very few times. And I did post my photos here first to get feedback before entering when I entered the challenges months ago (I've been gone a while). I found that the feedback completely confused me! I still do think it is a good idea, but my best advice is to listen to your own loudest voice when all is said and done. It's easy to start putting others' opinions above your own, especially if you are new to photography and a definite amateur like I am. But still when all the advice is in, listen to your own heart on it, and go with that.

    Good luck!
