Hi, everyone. I need to choose between one of this photos, but I can't decide. I would like to know which you like the most (You can also tell me why you don't like any of them, if that's the case :P).

In case your curious, this in Casa da Música("Music's House") in Porto, Portugal.

Thanks!

I think I like the 2nd photo. I like the persepctive of the stairs in this one and the landscape mode helps with that. I'm not a fan of tilted photos and don't think this scene needs it seeing as this is a strange construction anyhow.
I also like the 2nd person in this photo which shows where the person on the stairs is heading.

Exactly my sentiments. Whoa..had to take a step back looking at these..felt like I was all backwards!

Hummm... I don't usually like tilted photos at all. But I really thought it would work here... Oh well, i'll just have to drive 200 miles one of these days to reshoot this.:wall-an:

Does it work better like this?

That would make it shot 1, which is my preferred shot. Like MA said it shows where the steps lead. I like the people in the shot.

Yep ... in post 4 ... shot 1 now.

And HEY ... don't give up yet ... just because we didn't like it tilted doesn't mean someone else won't :)

I concur with the others. You had a real topsy turvy one posted in post 1 first shot this morning, right? Lol, it's been a long day. I prefer the one there now but I can see some merit in the previous one as well. A kind of Salvidor Dali meets Eschler sort of thing. :)

These are REALLY cool to my eye and I don't mind the tilt here at all because my eyes are enjoying the unconventional shapes that make up this shot. I like the exposure, composition (lines, shapes) and element of coolness here and so I'm nominating it as well.

In post 1, I like shot 1 the best as my eye follows the pathway of stairs and people nicely.

In post 4 I like shot 1 for the same reason.
Hope that helps
