A client let me use his cabin in the Northern Catskills for a vacation. I thought a nice (albeit presumptuous) gift would be to blow up one my shots from the cabin for him. I am planning to do a metal print at 11x14 which will fit the decor. I am having a hard time picking one of the photos, as I am in love with none of them. Please help me pick one of the following to blow up and add any processing suggestions to improve upon the photo, or none if none of them warrant selection. All of them are minimally processed in Apple Photos. Thanks for your help!

Three or five. The first two are a bit muddy and won't print as well.

For me it's a toss up between the first and the last.

Thank you. I agree about the first two. I thought one of that series was going to be it as I was taking them, with the pinkish rainbow and the mountain, but they just didn't come out as hoped. In hindsight, probably would have been better if I didn't use a 10 stop ND (couldn't help myself, I had just purchased it for the trip). Thanks again. I'm leaning toward 3, maybe clean up lens flare if possible.

i do think they all could benefit from a bit more PP...maybe a slight HDR to bring out the bright, and dark in the last three...the first two just look a little dark for me, but that may be able to be changed with some PP as well

if i had to choose, i'd go for 5, but that's only because the flare in the others is a bit much for my personal tastes...if you like flare, either 3 or 4 could work

I don't care for the lens flare in 3 and 4 either so I would have to say 5. I like 1 and 2 but they probably would not print well.

My vote is #5. It'll look pretty nice on that metal print. I wouldn't mind a second look at #2 if you could remove the ND's color cast.
