I agree the second is magnificent! It really is excellent! The first has potential but doesn't blow me away.

I love the black and white effect (? sepia) . Still learning how to do that.

The "tyre" tracks I find are distracting for me. They seem to detract the stunning symmetry and composition rather than highlight it.

I actually like the mop tracks - they add to the image by providing a contrast from the neatness, the orderlyness, of the subject.

But the first one is the pick of these for me. There's a story being told.

Ill take the mop tracks out and see what I prefer! I like #1 too, but I think maybe its something that shouldnt be photographed?

I too like the mop tracks. it makes it really "da Vinci Code" stuff by trying to work out the mystery behind the tracks.

"Was a body being dragged and left a blood smear".

Top images.
