Looking for a little bit of help choosing which of these to have printed for my office wall. They are all pictures of the downtown Miami skyline. So which do you like best? *(note: I'm hosting these on my website)

I picked 5 because of the contrast of the white lit building to the left to the rest of the photo. Good stuff.

Image 3. Seeing the cranes detracts from the rest of the skyline. Plus, 3 seems to have the best horizontal framing.

I picked image 4. i like the colored reflection on the water surface.

image 3 is too dark for me, image 5 maybe overexposed on that white building.

Thanks for the comments, everyone. I actually took 4 and 5 tonight. Image 3 was taken a few weeks ago. I like to decorate my office exclusively with pictures I take, but I often have a hard time choosing between them.

5. The sky on 3 looks fake (even if it isn't) and 4 isn't zoomed in onto the buildings like 5 is.

3, the big white building on the left of 4 and 5 makes the pictures unbalanced.

4 is the better one out of the lot.

The reflections make it. Straighten the horizon and you'll be good to go.

3 is the best out of the bunch, but even then, I think I would give it a 3/5 for a skyline picture
