Which one of these photos show off the scene the best?

Any other comments or how I can make any of these better is appreciated.

I like #'s 2 and 4 with 2 probably best.

I like 3, but I like #4 even more. Why do I like 4? because it's close-in, and the stuff is easily-seen.

I agree that last one is nice. I also like the first one because you can see the environment. The light stars are distracting, IMO. If you added them, I would remove. Just my take on it.

The "scene" can be the entire area, as in #1, or just the fountain, as in #4. I think because you wrote "scene" you mean the fountain and where it is, so the best shot in that case is #1. The Spanish moss sets the scene location to be somewhere in the South. #1 is my pick for "scene", but #4 is my pick for just the fountain.

pics make it look a lot nicer/impressive than in person.

I think I like #1 but would crop out some of the foreground and leave the trees in. Something along the lines of #2, but centered. And with a bit more of the trees.

My 2 cents.

#4 if your subject is the fountain. #1 if your intent is to show the greater fountain area.

All these photos are well done. You could crop a significant part of the sidewalk out in #1 to change the leading line emphasis of the sidewalk, to the very nice and distinctive Spanish Moss. Both the moss and sidewalk are nice elements, but the moss causes the viewer to linger longer than the sidewalk.
