Fellow countrymen, and countrywomen, and non-countrymen and women:

Lend me your eyes. Not permanently. Just for a few minutes.

I need your input. In this photography class I’m taking, I need to submit six images of a single subject as my “Final Project”

The requirements were simple: 6 photos, 3 in color and 3 in black & white. They were to be from the following categories:

1. Wide Angle
2. Detail
3. Detail
4. Mid range
5. Contrast
6. Student Preference

I’ve got two sets of images, but I’m not sure which to use. Please look at them both and tell me which you think is better. Also, any comments on image selection, which ones should be b&w and which should be in color, and so forth would be appreciated.

Image set 1: Fire

Image set 2: Paper Airplane Contest

Thanks for helping me!
