I immediately liked #2 by far. Then, reading comments, couldn't understand why so many liked #1. Then someone mentioned the space above the rod, and then I understood. Until I noticed that, I liked #2, now It's number 1. If it were up to me, I would cut out the clouds and past them in higher in the photo, which would then be #3 as my favorite:-)
Thanks for your thoughts BigDaddy. The first photo was the one I cropped and felt it looked fine. Then I thought maybe it would look better in a 16:9 ratio which resulted in the second photo. That became my favorite. Now.........after reading all the comments I am swayed back to #1. You are right though, I think a #3 could have the best of both images. Ahhh, how fickle we are.
