You pic what pic to enter

So entering a little local photo contest. Which of the three do you like?

Local group of divers? or a photo club or non divers?

i think the shark would impress non divers more than the other two.

I think #1 is the strongest image.

I like #1 - capturing the sweep of the shark is cool

...#3 is nice but I think the diver's face is not relaxed enough to make it a winner. #2 has pretty colors but needs a more distinct subject to make it pop.

Being judged by other divers. Agree about the anem shot, love the color but no center subject.

I'll have to work with the wife on her modeling skills, a "relaxed" face is not one I would have thought of.

Anyone else?

Ok how about between these two??? (I can clean up the group shot later)

stick with the original. I want to push the snapper out of the way...

I have to agree. Number 1 is a excellent composition and there's nothing to distract you from the main subject.

Number 1 it is.
