A few years back we were returning from a cruise early in the morning and I didn't want to miss this opportunity. For the first one I had the camera resting on the railing and hence the intended shake. The other two were just hand held. The third one would've been my favorite if I hadn't chopped the antennae off. You tell me. IF, you like any of them.

I like the middle one.

If you would remove just a hair of the haze in the second one, I would choose that one. It seems to have a bit more depth. definitely not the first one, sorry. The third one is cropped a bit too tight in my opinion. A nice capture and composition on the second one.

I can't really say that I like any of these shots, they're all very dull and lack a lot of detail and interest.

Number 3, by far, for me. I too miss the antenna but the shot has an almost abstract feel to it. I like the way the light plays on Ms. Liberty as well. I see I'm in the minority so far, but hey, what's new about that?

Like Orrie, I would do some post on it.
This is a 5 min edit. + Exposure, Sharpen, Dehaze, graduated filers, spot correct for the statue to bring it out from the background more.

Good morning. For better understanding can you please explain technique of "spot correcting" of the statue? As for the original authors question, l too am in the manority and prefer #3. The graphic interpretation. All have strengths, if only for the subject matter...
Quick story. I use to be the Kodak distributor for my country some years ago. During a retreat with them, they held a photo contest for almost 300 people. The judge who worked for Kodak, was also a professional photographer whose greatest accomplishment seems to have been having an image accepted into the collection of The Smithsonian Institute. He did a quick slide show of some of his work for us..
ALL WERE SIMILAR TO THE FIRST IMAGE WITH THE CAMERA SHAKE...
Remember him saying something about the "flow" and "dynamics" of the images...
