Pick Your Favorite

Hey Everyone,
Was out shooting flowers. I have to say I was disappointed in the amount of flowers I found given the amount of recent rain we had in Sedona. Here are 4 images one of Bell Rock with morning primrose and 3 of Courthouse with flowers 2 with morning primrose and one with cliff rose. I would like to know which image you find more pleasing. So pick a favorite.

Hey Bob,

This is a great set of images you got.

I can see why a lot of people are picking #3, it's well composed with a lot of great elements.

Can I make a suggestion first before I pick my favorite? In #1 if you selected that golden lit up area and in ACR change the yellow hue to orange so it matched the rest of the rocks and perhaps darkened it a hair? It would be my clear #1 image. That golden color is just very distracting visually. If you can match the color or crop it out, maybe warp it out are also options.

So without an edit on #1 I would order these: #3, 4, 1, 2.

Hey Jim,
I really like your suggestions. I was not thinking in those terms when I processed the image. I went back and re-edited the image based on your suggestions. Attached is the change.
