My favorite shot is #2 because the boy is obviously smelling the best fish and chips in New Zealand cooking right next to him!

#2, but #1 is a close second for me

My favorite is #4. The boy fishing is the main focus of the picture, while the boat is just an item off in the "distance". Very nice shot!

I like # 1, because all little boys like to watch boats
and that is what I was watching in the picture,
even though I am not a little boy,

I like #1 and then 3. The composition is nice on both, but I like the lighting and depth of field on #1. The boat is just slightly out of focus, but not too much, and the reflection on the water is cool.

I like #1 because of the composition. The boy is actually watching the boat, which ties the two main elements together.
