HELP ME CHOOSE 1 OF THESE PICS FOR A CONTEST IN RENO NV

HI, I have a chance to enter 1 picture of my Aquarium in a local contest in Reno, Nevada. It is an overall aquascaping contest to choose the best looking aquascaped freshwater aquarium. I am going to post 5pictures and the first three pictures show my drift wood displayed one way AND the other 2 pictures show a completly different piece of driftwood. I want to ask all of my fellow aquarists to help me choose the picture i should enter into the contest. thank you all for your help !
Bert

I would also select from one of the last 2 pics. The driftwood in those pictures elogates the tank and makes it look much larger than in the previoius pics with the more vertical driftwood piece.

I'm torn between the second to last and the last pic. I prefer the 2nd to last overall, but the last is better centered. Either way, nice lookin tank!

How funny, I liked the second picture - love that holey driftwood! But I can see where it might chop the tank in half, whereas the longer piece looks more natural...

Ehn, I'm new, what do I know? These guys have seen a LOT more tanks than I!
