I voted for 1 and 4 before I had a chance to check out number 6 nuclear, but this image is outstanding as well. For a beginner like me it is nice to be able to identify the planets clearly and try to build a scale in my mind. That is why I thought the first image was tremendous! Being able to track the nearly parallel movement of the two planets really helped me piece together the way I will interpret this in the future.

Of the now 5 6 images I chose #4 because of what else is in the image. You don't normally see Notre Dame from behind. I am curious though if the picture was taken from a boat on the river or while standing on the Quai d'Orleans.
