No. 2 for me. It's hard to explain, but I keep looking at it. The 'face' of this duck (it is a duck right?) is fascinating and with the blown out parts it makes for an even stranger composition. It's the 'this is familiar, but also odd' feeling I get.

I actually like #3. I think the composition is great, the contrast is good. The lighting on the trees really does it for me.

I love how unique the first photo is but I also love how clear the second photo is. It's a toss up for me.

the first one seems like something i have seen a thousand times. i love the second one. the horse one is cool, but that is probably because i love horses.
