Which Photo? (Travel Photo Contest)

This is my first photography related post. There will likely be a lot more.

I am trying to decide which photo to use for an online contest. The deadline is tomorrow night (Jul 31, 2016) so most of you who read this will be too late to help. Sorry for the short notice. But if you happen to be reading this before then, let me know which one below you like best. Otherwise I will post an update about which one I chose and what happens with the contest.

Normally it’s not that difficult to choose but “travel photography” is very broad so it leaves a lot open. The only restriction is that the photo was taken after July 31, 2015. And the only travel I did with decent photos since then was in Europe so here’s a few of my favorites I’m choosing from. Maybe I’ll add a litle more details about the photos later.

UPDATE (7/31/16 9:42PM) I went with #3 since that one had the biggest response in Facebook comments. One interesting thing is that they closed the contest a few hours too early. I was able to submit my photo because I still had the page with the form open. But when going back there it says the contest is closed. Some others never got to submit a photo. I sent a tweet to them complaining. Maybe they will reopen the contest and keep it open longer.
