I would like your opinion as to whether I should keep any of these images and if so, which one? Additional critique, suggestions or comments welcomed. Thanks 8-)

Without going into details, I prefer the last image. To me, it is the most pleasing to the eye. I like the exposure better in it, because it emphasizes the subject (the shadow of the leaves) quite nicely without adding any distraction.

A contest with the subject Textures or shadows and you have a winner.
Great subject matter "Good Eye"

Pretty close between number two and number three, Bmac. Both are nice studies of shapes, lines, and texture, and the textures come through well on both. The first is a bit too grainy/rough for my taste when downloaded.
An interesting photo. You might even consider a B/W conversion with this, as this is a case where color doesn't really add much.

Combine the leafs from number 1 with the woodwork form number 2, and you'll have a winner. I believe you went too far in blurring out the leaves in numbers 2 and 3.
As we discussed earlier, this is a subject that would have caught my eye as well.

I love the pop of #3! Very interesting and pleasing image. I like TP's suggestion - let's see in b&w too :)
