Need Help with Selection for Auction

Hi all,
I have decided to submit a framed photo for a silent auction for the Fish Creek Friends society fundraiser upcoming at the end of the month. I'm not sure which photo to submit for framing so I was wondering if you could help me pick. I thought I would select one I took at Fish creek. :)
I need to get this done ASAP so any help would be most appreciated.
Here are my final 5 choices:

#1

#2

#5

As I scrolled down, I was going to say 2 then I got to 4, then finally 5. So I pick 5 :) I presume that is Fish Creek and therefore entirely fitting. You might also raise more that way too.

Thanks AntZ...I am entirely stuck as to which one to choose so I appreciate the help! :)

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 always pick matte/lustre paper...I;m not a fan of gloss either AL. Thanks for the input! :)

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, my :twocents: and 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.
