Image number one is far and away the most artistic and captivating.
Beautiful! Really hard to choose just one.
Image 2 is almost like a piece of art work. They are all beautiful but 2 is so artists to look at very beautiful and well done. It would make a wonderful cover.
No!, pharyngula is corrupting Crepidula fornicatas victory.
Also, beautiful images, especially number 2.
First choice would be 1. Then 2. Then 4. Then 3. Not a fan a constructed symmetry.
I think 1 is well balanced and displays a wide range of colors while accentuating the underlying structures and evoking the feeling that the image is of a mysterious but living thing.
All the images however, are amazing and convey the complexity and beauty of life. Plus they are super-awesome ™.
I vote for all four to grace the cover! Each in their own quadrant … all great pics!!
I see a great Georgia O’Keefe thing happening with the second image. Close ups, just as pretty and potentially more captivating than the original. Plus symmetry is over-rated.
I voted for #1……………hope it wins.
I vote for photo #1. This should win for sure!
Number two is “node”ally awesome!
Number two is fantastic! very good!
Congratulations to #1 — all the images are beautiful but #1 is spectacular!!!!!
