Which One For Ben?

[JimFox]

I was working up an old photo for Ben's Salvage Saturday thread and found a photo to recover. The only problem is I couldn't decide which version I wanted to post as I kind like about 4 different versions. Can you guys help me decide?

Another nod to #3. Is it my imagination or should these be rotated 90º clockwise?

#3 for me

Thanks Jameel. Originally I was going to keep the background darker, but found that I liked when I brightened up the midtones slightly in the area around the tree.

Well.... it didn't need to be rotated 90 degrees. That is until you said it, and now I can't unsee it not being rotated 90 degrees...

I kept looking at the tree trunk which seems to be sideways. I have seen things that grow sideways but they are usually bending up towards the light where this one isn't.

This is the way it was though, as I never rotated it. It's a horizontal shot, not a vertical that I turned horizontal.

The tree need to get it's sunlight seeker recalibrated

I like the greater contrast between the green and the tree in 2.

It's interesting to see voting results so far.

This is taken from the polling tabulation of the Poll. I think someone who said #3 forgot to click on the poll.
