I'm gonna have to agree with Abnegation here, none of these particularly stand out to even my rusty eyes....
Brane's is the easiest on the eyes in my opinion, but I'm not a fan of the placement of the stock. It's just really.... low? Feels like it's just falling off of the canvas. The upward flow also seems a bit forced against the stock, so it's not really working for me.... (And the grainy stuff on his shoulder is an eyebrow raiser. Too sharp against the smoothness, imo.)
Renyui's is harshest on the eyes because of the colors and the graininess of the whole thing-- it looks like there's noise all over the green, which is really unappealing IMO. I do like how you worked with the stock to make it sharper, but at the same time, I'm not feeling the extension of the canvas on the right. It's not so much that I don't like the render in the middle, rather I love it there, but the space on the right just feels empty and unnecessary as it is now. (And I'm not feeling the red streaks either.)
Renyui's would've had my vote if it weren't so grainy in some places. If the blur was smoother, and the transition from the blurred aspects to the sharp ones in the middle were better executed, it would easily be my favorite. .... And maybe if the text was removed. I'm not sure I like that it's there, but not really at the same time....
Ultimately the best composition and work in my opinion was moments, so there's my vote.
Is graininess a new trend or something? I feel like I'm missing something. XD
