I prefer No 1 too. The horizon/distant trees spoil the other 3 for me.

How about.....
Number 3 but crop the top.
or crop 1 a bit on the left and more on the right to make portrait.

Prefer one, there's less in the background to distract you from the focal point of interest. Maybe just a tad lower with the flower though. A lovely composed shot.

As it is number 1 is best but with a little bit of work (crop top and little bit on the right) number 3 (without bug) would be the top picture.

I like number 1 best stops my eye drifting away from the main subject.

I had a further play taking your comments into account and adding in my like for square images and came up with the following image, which I think is my favourite so far.
Thanks to everyone that commented.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Nice crop there Kris. Brightening/warming up the oats has helped a lot too.

I like no.4, Kris, but with the brightening applied. The out of focus background helps give it context in my opinion. America or Hertfordshire?
Best wishes,
Andrew

So a chance of going back to the abandoned factory, then, Kris. Have a good trip. I think we're going to Somerset this summer.
Best wishes,
