Question Opinions please - which photo is the best version?

I had a ride recently and have been persuaded that one of my photos is reasonable and might benefit from some post-processing.

I’ve had a play with my somewhat limited graphics software (PaintShopPro) but I’m not sure which I like best.

What’s your preference?

Photo A – Original



Photo B



Photo C



Photo D



Photo E



Photo F



Photo G



I hope you can help as I really am an amateur.

Thanks in advance for any tips you can offer.

Stephen

A all the way mate, C if it was to advertise an insurance company in a magazine, the rest look a bit 'art college' if you know what I mean.

Try and make the sky a bit darker near the top, normally achieved through polarizing filters, but you can do similar effects post-processing. It'll look dead topgear and dramatic

Nowt wrong with the original, but if I had to choose a processed one I'd go for C I think, looks pretty cool!

Re: Opinions please - which photo is the best version?

its B for me though the original A is good i always think that you seem to get a wee bit more depth with black and white

C, but I can't just post 'C', because it's too short, and wont let me.

Re: Opinions please - which photo is the best version?

does your software have an unsharp mask filter? because those are easy to do and make any photo look pretty sick, the black and white one would look awesome if you did it, infact, I have photoshop open now, I'll show you what I mean if you don't mind
