Do you have a preference?

[Markulous]

Same subject, different ways of taking them - so what order's your preference? And how would you do it differently?
#1


#2


#3

2 . 3 . 1 .

And as for what I would do different not really sure without being there but I like to play around with the depth of field and the background .
Are they in your order of preference and if not what is it .

3, 1, 2

prefer the composition and angle of 3 to the others, for me the out of focus section of 2 is so large that it dominates the in focus part

Thanks, guys!

Personally, I find +ves to each:
#1 as it's flat on (Canon G11)
#2 due to the DOF as I'm a big fan of shallow DOF (Canon 7D, Sigma 105)
#3 as the manufacturer software has a wonderful light fill feature (years before anyone else!) but if it's used as a -ve fill, the result is as per the image (Sigma SD14, Sigma 105)

Overall, I guess #2's my favourite but #3 a close second (but then I'm a big fan of all things Sigma camera-wise)
