    Help me choose

    Took these early one morning while camping at a lake near where we live. I want to get one of them printed on the Kodak Metallic paper that mpix.com uses but I am having trouble choosing one of them.

    I like the fourth shot for having a complete reflection and being off center more with more neg space on the right. You captured a nice quiet moment.

    I'm with Chunk on the forth, but for some reason I also like the 2nd. In fact, I'll go with #2.

    What a beautiful, moody image, Stina! Now that's a tree with a lot of character. I too vote for the 4th image as the best. The distracting branches on the right lower corner are not present, the branchees just "touch" the horizon (and don't cross it), and there is plenty of room around the tree and reflection.
    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap, but memories are priceless.

    Thanks everyone the fourth one was what I was leaning toward for the reason Chuck listed but each one had something I liked so I could not quite decide.

    The funny thing is if I wouldn't have need to go to the bathroom I probally would have missed this great shot. I am not really a morning person. When I walked by I just had to go back to my camper and get my camera.

    I think I am going to have it printed 8x12 so I don't have to crop

    Like everyone else, I'm voting for number four. Second is a close second, but is second because of the distrations at the lower left and right of the frame as mentioned.

    Metallic paper has a nice look to it but I've never seen a shot like this printed on it. Let us know how it works out.

    I'd vote for number four, just if you get the small piece of land cropped out on the left. Other than that, nice shot and enjoy the printing!
