On this one I selected the bottomn and did curves to bring out more shadow detail, to show the people better.

Absolutely positively number 1. The leading lines, the colors, the framing. Definately the best of the three. The other's would be "ok" had I not been shown the first one.

Great colors combining blue along with the warmth of the yellows and oranges. In my photos, they're usually either really warm or really blue. Nice work.

Really did not think much of the picture.....till I clicked on the larger image (seems to be a major nitpick with me lately) now I like it.

Really have to go with the first picture, seeing the ducks, and more detail makes a difference.

On the second picture you have two competing subjects, the park/ people which can barely be seen, and the sky. I would focus on one, which would be the sky, but that may be my own personal opinion.

Thanks for the comments everyone. The original was a bit more blue, I used levels and tweeked the red a tiny bit to make it a bit more interesting to look at. :0)
