[Comet Hunter]

Taken behind the restaurant we stopped for breakfast

Which view do you prefer?

I am leaning toward # 2

# 1 or (cut the sky out?)

# 2 or

# 3 ?

I lean towards #2 but a pano crop on the first image that chomps out the sky is pretty interesting as well. I like the pond grasses down in front on the first one and the fountain has a nice feel to it with the lower point of view.
