Nathan,
I'd go with number one: the bridge, snow and river/shipping say something
about the place, number four: the contrast with some sunshine, and the
contrast between the old buildings of Amsterdam reflected in a pool of
human litter again says something about the place, and number five: again
the contrast of an almost b/w image with the bright red undergarment, the
staid cobblestone and the story of why the bra is discarded here again
tell a story. Number two was very hard to throw out, but I rarely really
like images of people from behind so it goes on that alone and the third
looks too hilly for Holland ;-)

Cheers

Alastair
