Not sure which I'd choose really.

No.1 - its OK but doesn't do much for me.
No.2 - I'm strangly drawn to this, its got that industrial, crane like, vibe to it.
No.3 - looks like half of a bridge (wonder if they could build another one at New Brighton and have a beam of light between the two...).
No.4 - I don't like this one, looks like a specimen bottle.
No.5 - Yes, graceful looking, would look good.
A concern with 3 and 5 is they look very open and exposed - would people walk all the way along them on a cold rainy day.
1 and 2 (and 4 for that matter) look as if they would have some kind of enclosed area (cafe?), would this be better from a revenue earning point of view.
I haven't been in (up?) the Portsmouth Tower but sailing past it looks stunning at night and always seems to have plenty of visitors - although it is next to a shopping/leisure complex. The Seaforth one would be isolated to say the least. Perhaps it needs something else to draw people in - an offshoot of the Maritime Museum, somekind of sea-life centre, educational centre etc.
