My first photo prize!

Who would have thunk.... After my 2 weeks in China, I fulfilled a long dream and entered a couple of photos to a competition sponsored by the Beijing Tourism Administration. Lo and behold, I got an award, second prize! Shared with a few other folk, but hey I get almost $400 in prize money, which will just about pay for the tea ceremony I stumbled into and got taken for a ride.

Anyway, I don't yet even know which photo won. Below are the ones entered. Which one do you think is better? I hope they picked the first one...
