Number 3 all day long.

yes no 3...is most iconic and much more could have been done with it
.i spent many years holidays in malta and never failed to get a good handle on valletta and its details
the wide angle ones not for me..really
the limestone never fades and reconstrution and improvements to the walls are beautiful

Do you mean much more could have been done with the processing?

Unreal - sure. It looks very stretched and over-processed.

You can't replicate sunny golden hour by boosting all sliders till it breaks. That's what sunny golden hour is for.

It's all a question of taste I suppose. That looks a tad overdone to me, but I can't really citicise as I went a bit mad when processing a Porsche 935 from the Le Man's Classic the other day! Thus:
