I just can't make up my mind between numbers four and five

Slan,

Six and three. Presuming three hasn't been 'shopped.

4 is great and definitely my favourite. 5 is hilarious, just made me smile in a big way. Special mentions to 1, 11 and 12 as well.

I'm going 11.

I also like 8.

From my opinion, #4 is probably the best one if we're judging on a combination of style, technique, composition and asthetics. #2 is a close second, as well as #5 (kids are so TOUGH to shoot! You never know what they're going to do next; you really have to be on the ball to shoot good children photos), and #11, while very simple, is compositionally ballanced and correct.
There are some that I see in the selection that, IMHO and IMPO, probably should not be in the consideration (at least I would not have chosen them)...
...all I will say is that there is at least one that I suspect was shot by a first year photography student...it's nigh on identical to a shot that I did with my first camera when I was ten...

I also prefer #9, but not because I think it's technically or artistically better than the others. I just like the subject matter.

I liked 2,3, and 12 best and voted for 3. It was hard to narrow down.

I went for 6. Because it was the one that touched me most. Even if it looks very composed and I usually don't like that sort of stuff, it's a very beautiful picture. And also, I realized that pretty much no one else would vote for it.

1 and 4 are probably the best pictures.

I guess we're all different, I don't see anything special about 4, this is a view I've had hundreds of times travelling on the tube, and could have taken myself if I thought it was interesting enough. What makes this shot so special?

I liked 1, 3 and 11 best, and voted for 3.

Most of the rest seem too posed for my taste, though I did like the lighthouse. 1 and 3 capture a moment which would be unreproduceable, and with 11 I know I couldn't take water looking like that.

Me too. Actually liked #10, #11 and #12 too, but #9 is stand-out.

Agreed...except for I started on tenor so many years ago that 4 strikes many nerves.

Voted for 9
