I think #1 is better for me, the red flag on the second shot takes away from the rest of the scene.

Thanks for the comment, Paulo. Is this one any better than the ones above?

I like the last one better. I was bothered by the clouds in the first two photos. They looked so sharply cut against the sky that it was - for me - a bit unnatural. Please, note that we only have a low resolution version. At full res, my comments might not apply.

The last photo is more pleasing, better balanced.

Hi,
I should say too... "baroque" ...for me.
Thanks.
