I am submitting three photos of sand patterns to my photography club and would appreciate opinions from the UHH forum on what photos to submit. I have submitted one so I have 2 more photos to submit and have 4 photos to consider with different versions of each photo.
Here are the four photos and their versions. Which 2 photos and version do you like best? What suggestions do you have to improve the photos?

These are all very well done photos. Number one is my favorite of the bunch. May I suggest that you try flipping all these horizontal shots and see if that helps you in your choices.

Agreed, and the roots should be down as we are use to seeing them.... amazing how organic the inorganic sand looks.... so plant like. You, tnste, are among those who have learned to see the ordinarily unseen. Congratulations on developing the curse of being beyond reality.

My selection is no. 1. The way it's posted looks organic and flipped 180 degrees it looks like fire. For some reason the color leaves me with an uneasy feeling.
I'd like to see it flipped 180 and have a red tint; however, as it is would most likely be remembered most. Certainly the significant one to me in the batch.
My opinion comes from several years of direct contact with the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. https://www.themodern.org/

Thank you very much for your response. I will rotate the image as you suggest but will not add a red tint and just go with the natural colours of the sand for this particular theme which is The Sands of Time. There is still one more photo to submit. What would be your second choice and which version?

Your opinion is appreciated. I will submit #1 as you and others have suggested and flip it. I was thinking of that anyway. We are allowed to submit three photos. Still one more photo to submit for this theme The Sands of Time as I have already submitted one as shown.

Thank you for the kind words and your suggestion. As already stated to others in this forum I will flip the image. I have one more photo to submit for this theme. Of the photos I posted, which other photo and version do you suggest I submit?

Flipping the photo completely changes the look. I changed the tone as well. Does not suggest roots as in the original photo.

I agree with the other comments about rotating them. I think it is a stronger image. I like 2b as your third submission. It brings out the subtle changes in color tone of the sand the best.

I like #4. Doing it as a vertical would make it fit nicely with your others. I'm not fond of toning, so I would do it in "normal" colour.
