I am by no means a pro Troy, but FWIW I can give my humble opinion.
My fav. is 6452.  I would have walked up closer to the sidewalk to get
the road and sewer out of the pic.  But you can crop the bottom part
out to either the sidewalk or the waters edge.  With tourists all over
the place, it's hard not to get them in the shot.  But it's a really
nice, classic wide angle shot.
