Last one is best to me too! I would crop or angle out the building to the right that shoes the angle. Does that make sense? The horizon looks low on left side. a bit too.

I'd print it!

First one the buildings are falling over backwards and is a bit overcooked. Second is much better. Third is framable...Beautiful scene!:)

3rd one is the best.

I like the composition of the first one but the building in the background is too soft and overcooked like previous post.

3rd shot is the best for me, but the Opera House is slipping down into the harbour. That far shoreline needs straightening than you have a winner.

I agree, the 3rd one is the winner.

Thanks everyone for your feedback

I reprocessed the first one - improvement?

I think the first seems OOF, third is the money shot

The first seems a little soft to me too, and the items in the foreground compete for my attention. I am going to have to agree with everyone else, that 3rd shot is "it"!

In terms of composition, I like the foreground interest in the first and the inclusion of the Opera House in the last. But I don't like the second, all that empty space in the lower left is boring.
