Hi Gary, great work again!
I'd have to go for 3 as well. It was the one that jumped off the screen for me, ie I noticed it first sort of thing. It is the colours, they put me in mind of adobe buildings with the orange-brown colour, and sun and sky with the blue and yellow and the layout is great. Although 5 and 8 are similar in style I like 3's colours best. The wiggley line could be seen as water, although it puts me in mind of hills due to the green colour. Maybe if the curves were more accentuated in the middle than the ends it would highten this effect. But that might not work so well (composition wise) as the shape you already have.
My second choice would be no 1, I really like the stone texture. But overall no 1 doesn't quite have the same 'warmth' as no 3.
I like the photos used in 2 and 4, (you have some beautiful photos!) and also the font used in 4. And I like the movement suggested in 4 and 5 with the position of the 'mans' legs running. Maybe the design of the 'man' in 4 would also look good in 3's layout?
Tricky choice as usual, good stuff Gary!
Regards
Su
