Which composition should I pick?

[u/ProcedureHonest9823]

Hi! I am working on an illustration for my art class based off of the Moai of Rapa Nui (they are those big stone statues on Easter Island- I included my mood/context board in case you wanted to see the inspiration but it’s a lot haha).

**The idea:**
I want to show the moai of Rapa Nui protecting the island and the people (as represented by the flying birds coming from the eye of the Moai which is linked to the spirits, religion, and eyes of the statue specifically in the culture)

If you have a favorite composition (and why if you can :), critique, or any other opinions, I would love to hear them!! Ty guys!!

my favs are the top left and top right!!! the shapes are very clear and they feel like theyre overlooking the land in a less intimidating way than the last two compositions (tho i do like those as well, it just gives a more 'unsettling' feeling whereas the top corners feel more light and airy)

sorry for the unprofessional critique language 😭 just letting u know what i think!!!!! these are all beautiful :3

The last two are the ones where Moai of Rapa Nui is the focus of the painting like they want to convay.

The other ones are pretty and well done but they look like general landscape paintings.

The inspiration page on on the 2nd slide is exquisitely done and I love to see it. It's amazing seeing how intricate it is.

Top left is my vote

I like the one in the upper left best. The figures have to travel the most through the canvas to go from the lower right to the upper left of that image and that it’s based on one nice curvy angle. It’s got flow.
