Looking for Some Help

[anwmn1]

I went out today shooting for the challenge. My issue is deciding which color sunset I like the best and how much the silouette should fill the frame. Please let me know your thoughts.

Thank you in advance! Aaron

:lust love it!

#3. it has a really cool apocalyptic vibe to it with the deserted background. the (halfly eaten) tower does have some more details in it so in that opinion the second one is better, though the 3rd picture still screems siluette to me.. :rolleyes

yep, definitly #3 for me!

Good seires - I prefer #2 also. :thumb
Clone out the electrical towers on the horizon in whichever one you decide to enter.
Where were these taken?

Yep, #2. The distance shot has more impact than the close up (#5). I like the one showing the whole ruin a lot, but for the challenge I'd go with #2 - more dramatic and glorious sky. TomaS is probably right about cloning out the towers, although I was so lost in the beautiful sky that I didn't notice them until he mentioned that they were there.

For me it's number 1 that does it... somehow cooler colors make it for me

TomaS-

Appreciate the input. No PS, so no cloning out the towers (really hoping to win that CS2!!).
These were taken in the Gila River Indian Reservation between Phoenix and the little town I live in called Maricopa. I have shot here a few times since it is close and is pretty unique.

Thanks again!

Virginia-

Thank you very much for the feedback. Seems to be a consensus going here as far #2.
