Fish

I'm curious as to which of these first two shots appeal the most, why.

First one for me MA! All that sky just gives it a great overall feeling for me.
Take all that away and the other 2 are just pictures of someone fishin'.

the composition is perfect in the first one, the second is quite good but I found the foreground distracting in the 3rd. Number 1 stands out by a mile.. Wonderful work as always.

Thanks Guys ... 2 votes for #1.

Another vote for #1. Like okmqaz42, I find the forground distracting in #3.

[Mad Aussie]

Thanks Asnow.

I only added the 3rd as a further reference.

shot 1 for me too, it looks very chilled and relaxed..

#1 for me as well as I feel more drawn into it, the second and third have a distant and distracting feel to me

Personally, I would choose something between 1 and 2. #1 would be interesting for a two page spread that had text on it though.

Thanks Richard, Ed and JAS.

I really wasn't sure that 1st shot would appeal to many people. These are all uncropped btw.

I know what you are saying JAS ... I had that thought as well.
