Why? It's too confusing and not quite what you tried to make it do... look like everything was closed up. That isn't the feeling I get nor do I see a shot that really worked due to the confusion of the eye seeking for something to lock on. Number 2: Unfortunately you had potential there, but blew it with the composition. The little guy is about to crash into the left side. If you'd taken a couple of steps to your left the composition might have worked. Or shot sooner when he was closer to the centre, but not at the centre. Number 3: Now yer cooking as it's a nice balance all over vertically and horizontally. So, for what it's worth it's number 3 without question! ted
