1 and 4

Kathryn B Borel

I'd like to do all but #1 and #4 are my favourites

Mary L Doty

I like #4 best because the contrast of the hills and the houses. Also #2 because the buildings have a lot more color. These all look complicated so that will be interesting.

CathV

#3 because of the signs and ironwork on the buildings, and I want to know how to show the street is going down, and #4 because of the contrast of the tower against the dark hills, and how to show the street is going up.

Russ Sansom

For me #1 has the most fuzzy / nebulous negative space outline. So, That one. 2,3,&4 all have skylines that look like crisp jig saw pieces.

Rick Morris

1 and 3 Scottie. Lots and lots of detail. Will really be interested in seeing your approach. Thanks.

Karen King

I chose #1 because it has too much! How to simplify down to the essence of the scene?

Lorna Graham

1 and 3. All will be a challenge for me as I do struggle with perspective. Its definitely something I need to practice on. ☺️

Raf

In image 1, the building on the far left is messing with me. The perspective line of the top of the building hit the horizon at a different point than where the wire mid-way down the building hits the horizon.

Mary King

I would like 4 to get me started again. It seems a little easier
