Composition Question C&C Please

[gpmccash]

Hello,

Thanks in advance for your comments.

The following images were captured at Versailles, France, a couple weeks ago.

The steeple is part of the stable and maintenance facilities at Petit Trianon.


The shot really caught my eye due to the contrast and richness of the colors.


But I'm trying to decide which image is better composed, if any. I've liked the first one from the beginning. I've been looking at them so much now, I'm really at a lost.

D90, 18-105 Kit lens, 52mm, ISO 200, 1/500 sec, f/5

#1 for me... Versailles, lovely place to visit with a camera... the views are just stunning.

#1 is the best for me because it has less of a perspective problem (that falling-over look) than the others. The second could be a good composition if you included a little more of the other parts of the building, which in this shot are just tiny bits along the edges, and also straightened it some.

#1 for me because it is straight.

#1. It's straight.

i go for #2; it gives a better view of the construction

Thanks Everyone.

The the perspective feeling is actually only present in relation to the other photos. I picked up on that right away as well. Had a little case of vertigo. I didn't feel that when viewing the photos solo.

Yeah, I'm not sure why #2 feels off because the cross down was my rule and it's vertical. I'm wondering again if #3 is affecting my view.

Thanks again everyone.
