Trying to decide which to print

[flysooner9]

Trying to decide between these photos which one to print for my home. Also looking for any suggestions on editing as these photos haven't had much done to them and editing is my short fall. Also any comments on what median to print them on would be helpful.

I'd go with #3, make sure it's straight though!

I like the building in #4 the best.... Buy I think the sky is a bit overdone.... But I am half blond. So yake that with a grain of salt...

#1 and #3 are the "cleanest" compositions. #2 has "junk" in the front plane, #4 looks unreal, like HDR.

#1 : the house is too bright while part of the foreground is in the shadows.
#2 : true, there's "junk" in front of the house but I really really like the track/trail in the foreground. Favorite composition.
#3 : It's good too but I feel there's too much grass in the foreground.
#4 : Look like it's HDR. It looks good, but does it when printed?

I'd print #2.

I love #1 -- the sun shining at the front is the killer that will show in print version -- and it has clean look to it. Perfect for print. Also since our eyes are attracted to bright spots, this will be attractive once it is on print. Discount the fact that no matter what sort of printer you'd have it printed, it will not be as exact at the one here on screen.

What sort of print media are you using?

I don't know your decor, but FWIW #4 has better balance, even though it looks a little dark to me.

Do either of the barns hold any significance?

#2 & #3 need some straightening.

Print all four, and rotate them with the seasons.

Barns dont have any significance, just popular photography points near Jackson Hole. I mean they are old and historic but no personal significance.

What line would you suggest straightening the 2 photos off of?

What line would you suggest straightening the 2 photos off of?

With buildings, I usually use a vertical that can be found near the middle of the photograph. There is a line in the siding where the eave of the gambrel roof meets the shed roof. Even though it is partially obscured behind the fence, there is enough of it to straighten the photo. Or if you can pick out any one board in the gable end, those are presumed to be vertical as well.

FWIW: my order of preference:

4
3
1
2

Oh, here; I fiddled some with #3 & #4

Crop some off the top and bottom.
Increase the mid-tone contrast (clarity) and vibrance.
Sharpen the mountains above the shadow line.

Print on metallic or pearl paper, mat and frame it.
