3 Impatens pics. If you could only choose one...

[PhotosGuy]

I can't make up my mind. If you could only choose one, which one would it be?
300D, Kit lens @ about 40mm , ISO 200, a tiny Patch, & cropped slightly.

Although all great, #2 for me. The texture is superd.

Frank,
I'm with Mikesd - the second one is lovely with its deep colour against the dark of the background.

Cheers

eh, not doing it for me, i almost would say to open PS and pul some of the channels out bit, brighten the colors up a lot...

i cant say i am a huge fan of any, but having to choose, #2

They all could use some PS facelifting. Anyways I pick #3 and here are reasons why:
-it shows a mature open flower to the left and a green 'soon to be' flower to the right
-background is evenly and pleasantly blurred, with the exception of the leafs but they do not bother as there's enough of them to see without guessing what it is
-#2 is centralized, one subject only and with some almost in focus background below
-#1 I just don't like

They all look great, but if I had to choose just one pic it would be #2.

no. 2 for the contrasts but I like the way the flower in the front of No1 is looking. It is like a soft circle of silk with a little ball in the middle.
