1st one for me! I like the colours and tones in that one, and the rope is more attractive.

I really like shallow depth of field but sometimes it can get too shallow... as I've found in lots of my recent stuff. I think this may be the case here.
I've been struggling with poor light and low temperatures (7 degrees) all day.
Great idea, though. Perhaps a re-shoot would be possible, Mike!
Regards,
Andrew

Andrew I agree it needed more DOF but the light was very poor. No reshoot, it was a VE day exhibition.
Colin #3 was focussed on the the bit that's sharp It needed more DOF so that more was sharp. I tried the area in the front as well and that looked no better.
I think #1 is the best as well as the colours are most consistent. I think I might desaturate it a little more.

Mike,
I've taken the liberty and tried BW - It hasn't turned to sludge (IMO anyway). It's quite interesting as an abstract in a high-contrast, non-purist sort of way.

Gareth,
No 1 in BW with higher contrast and a greater black point works wonders!

I think it possibly looks 'better' because the high contrast and the merging of tons disguises the OOF areas a bit. Personally I didn't think it was any better.
While desaturation ...

In all cases I curse the lack of light that led to shallow DOF.
