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.

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.

so, number 2.

Kind regards,
