Help me decide on an 11x17

I want to make an 11x17 out of one of my recent photo shoot pictures, but I can't decide on which one.

Pick two of the following:

1. Help me decide on an 11x17-dscn7696laf.jpg

2. Help me decide on an 11x17-dscn7711laf.jpg

3. Help me decide on an 11x17-dscn7722laf.jpg

4. Help me decide on an 11x17-dscn7729blafb.jpg

5. Help me decide on an 11x17-dscn7754blaf.jpg

6. Help me decide on an 11x17-dscn7760laf.jpg

Some people have a better eye for this sorta thing! Thanks... and let me know why you chose the ones you did...

I voted 2 and 4. 2 is my favorite. Only thing wrong with 4 is that it's not centered.

None really, but of the choices, I picked #4.

You need to do the selective focusing thing and blow the background out to make the car the main subject. Not sure it can be done with a point & shoot though.

I picked #4 because it follows the rule of thirds. The best photos in my opinion (as well as most professional reviews I have read) are those that tell a story. If the background looks good and makes the picture flow, you do not center the object. If the background is cluttered, you zoom in and center the object. 4 flows very well and I love how it looks like the 3 painted ladies are looking at the car.

What do I look like, a professional?

Thanks for the votes!

I like 2 & 3 of those choices. Honestly and not trying to be a photo guru/prud. I would like to see you ride without any distraction in the background. something more neutral so that the mail subject is more about the car than where it is. I like the angle shot and anything coming in at 45 degrees off of the nose.
