Garth,

My impressions are these:

I prefer the body language of the first images as opposed to the more straight on of the last.

As far as the scale - as you say the differences are subtle in the first two. However, each seem like they could use a little more space between the subject and the frame. Lately I've become a fan of giving more space around the subject. I think it imparts more importance to the subject.

I prefer the hands in the last image. the hands in the first images are not bad. I don't care for the hands in the third

I think my home run would be the first image with the fourth hands giving a bit more room to the edges.

By now you must have as many judges in your pocket as Vito Corleone.
