Fairly simple/quick/easy comment request...

I'm asking just to settle an 'argument' with my dad - which of the 4 images is the worst (based on the general population) and which is the best?

both of us are stuborn on our opinions...we need a mediator.

If you see anything to comment on, i'd like to hear, but not necessarily the purpose of this thread (but i still like consturctive criticism). :)

I like the first one best, and the third the least.

#3 for the perspective... #2 the left side thing is distracting

something about the fourth one caught my eye. the first three look a bit dull, not much going on. seeing the space needle through the branches lends a very 'real' feel to the shot, and gives the viewer more to ponder.

Guess it depends for me.

Caveat: I know _nothing_ about photography. Zilch. Except I understand you press a button or something. Have even done that. Problem as I understand it is that I need to aim the camera first... Half-way there...

At this size, I actually like 3. Except that the main subject (round tower thing?) is a distraction rather than the focus. Could be wrong about intended subject, though.

I also like the fourth, but probably only if it was bigger. I like the contrast between the trees and the tower. It seems more "complete" somehow.

I think I like the first one the least. It just seems boring. Though I could be persuaded to like the second the least as it seems to have two subjects competing for attention rather than complementing each other.

Feel free to ignore my comments since I speak out of ignorance unlike the other people here. I'm saying it only because you mentioned the "general population" and I feel I qualify in this context! Not sure that's what you meant, though...

Wow! Thanks for the responses... :)

...and I have gotten more confused. =P

I personally like the 4th one (with the trees) the most. I'm planning on enlarging one of these photos up to 16x20in (i'm just waiting to buy some large enough trays), so imagine the photo at that size.

What have I learned? Every1 has different tastes! I thought one of use (moreover my dad) has bad taste...guess not. :(

I like #4 as well...it just works well with the view of the tower in portrait. The tower feels small in landscape. The addition of the trees is nice, but #4 would still win without the trees.

Clarification: at larger size, I would go for the fourth.
