I hate that one. Looks overprocessed and the massive yellow haze on the LHS distracts the eye from the overall composition, which is actually very good.
All IMHO, IANAP etc.
I see your point, it is a little "Instagram" but I think the only other that comes close is number 9. It's composed very well, but for me would be better without people in it.
But, yes, as you mentioned first, this is only my opinion, taking into account what I look for in a picture.
Agree with this. Without the blurry people 9 is a well composed pic. I voted for 3 even with the yellow haze it stood out to me.
2 is good but theres something about the angle of the pic. 1 stood out as well I love the plane in the background but the rest of the backdrop didn't live up to it
