Got Heli Pic Proofs - Need Opinions!

I got 7 watermarked proofs from BoatPix.com. I want to order some prints. Maybe three of them. I'm going to list my opinions of each pic and I'd really like opinions from you guys as to which ones are the best.

1. Favorite but bad lighting. Maybe they can enhance the yellow?
2. Favorite but maybe too much hull in water, running slow.
3. Favorite.
4. Good. I really like the way the boat looks including the Donzi logo but I look bald and have man boobs . Can they photoshop that?
5. Meh.
6. OK but can't see Donzi logo.
7. OK, they could probably center it better but I look awkward and there are those dam man boobs again.

#4. I like the way the boat is pounding the wave.


If you haven't heard about past dealings with Boat Pix, do a search here on OSO. There has been some good and some bad. Make sure you read all the fine print when making a purchase.

#5. Water looks the best and the color of the boat has great contrast, flying high, etc.

I put up larger pics after the first ones came up as thumbnails.

I think we can rule out 2 & 3 because I was running slow then and sped up when I saw the chopper taking pics. My problem with 6 & 7 is that the Donzi logo isn't visible. 4 seems popular and I like it too. Now my favorites are 1, 4 & 5.

BTW, I'm comfortable dealing with BoatPix. I can purchase the digital files for quite a bit more $ or various size prints starting at $125 for an 8 x 10. I would like this thread to just be about which pics are the best. lol, I just saw that they can photoshop in more hair, etc. I'll put up a pic of the pricing info. I hope they don't mind.

I really like that one too, especially if they can brighten the yellow.

They should be able to clean up the first picture.

I know somebody that got pics from them and they turned the green algae water blue.
