3 versions - which is best?

[Calis]

I took these today in the grand stairway of the Royal Armouries in Leeds (UK). I've been looking at them all for a while now, and can't decide which is the best. Anyone got a favorite? If so why?

My fave is No.1

I like the orientation of #1, but not the oversaturation. I like the color and tone of #2 best. #3 is too closely cropped when compated with the others. But all 3 stand on their own very well. It is a very surreal image. It took me quite a long while to get what it is. There was a moment what I was wondering if this was not a macro shot of a computer chip. Good job.

On #1 I didn't correct the WB - I think that adds to the over saturated impression. I think I'll go back to the raw and try agin with that one.

Thanks for the comments.

3 is best I think.....most balanced colors

That is a wicked cool perspective. :)

I like #1 best. I don't think the saturated colour looks bad; on the contrary, it makes the walls look like very polished, very expensive wood. (I'm viewing on an LCD, though, which sometimes brightens/washes out things.)

With the cold blue colour in the centre of #2 and #3, they make me think of scenes in 2001... just need Dave Bowman floating in the middle...

No help here! I like 'em all.

I like #1 best. They are all gret though.
On #1 I like the contrast and the way the orange(ish) and light blue combine.

In #2 and #3, parts of the objects are cliped out in such a way and feel less complete than #1 and the angle just does not do it so much for me as #1 either (imho).

I like #1. No wait, I REALLY like #1. The angle and colour saturation make it for me.
Might look better just slightly less saturated, but looks great as it is.

#2 gets my vote. The colors match best in #2 for me. #1 is too red and #3 is saturated enough. #2 is just right. Or maybe me monitor isn't calibrated right and my opinion should be disregarded.
