Well I to say 1 until I saw 4, go with 4 but not on a gloss paper, hard one to decide, paper I mean lol, not a big fan of gloss. Lucky I do not have to choose the paper ... P.S. What size are you planning to print? Just a out of curiosity question, if you have not decided let me know when you do ....

I like to play with different papers, grab various sample packs that my Epson will give me ICC profiles for, nothing like experimentation ....

I think that, given the nature of the fundraiser, 5 is the best choice of all. But all are great.

I agree with Bambi. #5 is the one that appeals to me the most.

5 is a good choice, it has a good appeal and can be hung almost anywhere.

I keep reading what others think and every time I see when I scan by 1, just is so much more unique, I like 5 but after a few views it seems 1 is the stronger image after a few viewings. So I see your difficulty, but 1 on a matt paper I think would slightly darken it because of ink absorption but would give it texture, With a gun metal frame and a medium heavy frame, shoot I can see it now. And it does have unique cool quality to it and saying a photo works anywhere to me is not always a good thing. I would pick out a matting even and tell you the colour name for it. From the gun metal grey and the matting I have visioned the set up would draw your eyes right to the photo.
As per my usual, myand my opinion are worth far less then the two cents. Gunmetal frame, the Matt Paper colour will give the whole piece a very cool and interesting depth to the whole finished product. 5 is safe and 1 is unique, interesting, and it would I think stand , and so you know bye the time it would be finished your photo would appear bright and textured with these complimentary colours.
