Well done David, I like them all.
I like the first one best.
Like #1 best but it might depend on where I was going to hang or display it.
That'll teach you to put an image out that isn't perfectly level!LOL
Your question is really hard to answer because in different contexts each image has it's merits. I think all of them are nice images, even the one with the slanting table.
The 1st one is my favorite, really dramatic effect - really grabbed my attention! I agree with what others have said about the need to level the table top.
Personally, I like them all, and depending on the purpose any of them could be used. I would recommend that you tilt the camera so the table is straight
on all of them. Mike
No 1 truly captured my eye. They are all wonderful and based individual perception. No 3 was my next one I was drawn to.
What technique did you use on the first one? Looks good.

Hard to chose between 1 and 2, but if I had to pick only one it would be #1 because of the oval in #2.
The best one is the one YOU like the best. My favorite is #2 after leveling, and then #1. It's fun to play around in PS for sure.

I think 2 is best for the subject.
#1 because of the colors.

"Best" is impossible to say, except for personal taste. What are you trying to do?
My INTERPRETATIONS of the photos based on what's there in terms of color, composition and all the other visual cues are:
#1 Pretty color. Rays don't "compute" as coming from lamp or shattered mirror. Good eye candy.
#2 Oval wrecks what might have been a "story," light/blessing/info beaming into a book. Without the oval, kinda corny, but just what the doctor ordered for a good magazine illustration. Good technique.
#3 Nicely done "still life," suitable for hanging.
#4 Good "art" potential if worked at a bit. A normally homey scene a bit whacked.

Very observant constructive critique. I will work on the subject using your advice. Thanks for the suggestions. David
Disregarding the slight angle, which is easily fixed in PS, my favorite is #3 for its very real look, then #4 for the contrast, number 1 for the "WOW" factor then #4 (which I would have just cropped to the oval and not included the corners).
Overall, very nice work.
