Well none of the links seem to work. (at least not for me) So I'm going to say that you should get them both nice pairs of socks. :)

Try again, they are fixed now.

I vote for Avalanch Pass, or whathaveyou. Somehow, even with the snow, it seems really alive.

I liked the second one. It seemed fresh and bright.

I vote for the second one. You can get it printed at a really high resolution and put it all the way around a wall. and pretend you live there.

3rd has objects in the foreground, which makes it instantly more interesting.

I dunno, have you seen DSettahr? :p

Voted third, it's the prettiest.

The first has the most color and is the brightest.

I go to school for design and I say 3 has the nicest composition!

But if you really want color, go for number 1

You don't need color for good art.

1 or 3. I'll explain why:

1. You captured the sun and sky at a beautiful time of the day. You have a great view of the mountains, whilst having the green and liveliness of the evergreens. There's more to look at than #2.

2. Nice, but very monatanous. Nothing but mountains. Gets boring fast.

3. Has a cold, cozy winter look about it. The evergreens are bristled with snow, quite a decent coating without being heavy and dreary looking. The steps and wood pile stuff on the right add a touch of interest. Reminds me of something that you would find near the cabin of one of those guys who goes out and lives off nothing but the land for a year.

Definitely either 1 or 3. You have to think about the potential places they would have for placing these once framed. 3 looks like something you'd see in a log cabin or similar atmosphere. 1 is much more lively and would probably fit better with more contemporary decor.

I agree completely. I voted for 3, it would be my choice. But do give 1 some thought. As I said, you may want to take into account the decor of the rooms they are most likely to place it in.

1 and 2 seem like more traditional landscape photos. I like 3 because of the sense of depth that's there. 1 and 2 look kind of flat, because everything is in the distance. 3 provides a good feeling of the expanse that's there.

Honestly, I say 1 AND 3

I agree, but 3 over 1 if you can't do both. And don't sacrifice quality to go with both, either.
