Hard to choose, but this window is slightly ahead in favouritism to the other two. Maybe it's the colours and textures of the bare stones... Excellent subdued but very effective editing on all 3. :))

Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo in Melides, Portugal.Time
It was about 2 PM.Lighting
The strong Portugese sunlight reflected from the opposite wall resulting in a wonderful soft colored light.Equipment
I have a Lumix DMC-TZ100, all my photos are taken with this little miracle of a camera...The best thing about this camera is that it has a good Leica lens and it is very easy to carry with you because it practically fits in your back pocket. I didn't use any extra equipment, I took the photo spontaniously free out of hand.Inspiration
I was amazed about the wonderful colors and textures of this weather worn wall. The shutter closed window with the reflection of the opposite roof finished the composition.Editing
I did a little post-processing in Lightroom to emphasise the colors and textures.In my camera bag
I don't have any equipment in my bag (yet) I am a beginning photographer and I am learning to use a camera, to look for the good light, composition and point of view. One day when I know how to use and set the camera well enough, I will start to think about a bag filled with technical things instead of the need to understand how it works first...Feedback
If you want to take a photo like this one, just look around for the simple every day compositions... Avoid the direct sunlight because it creates hard highlights and dark shadows. If you look at a subject to photograph, you have to try to realise what you want to achieve, Try to find the good light, the right point of view and the best composition... And most of all, take more shots with slightly different settings so you can choose the best one, once you get home and open your laptop when the magic of today's digital world begins... I allways crop it later into the size and composition I like best. Crop the photo in different ways, so you can choose the best one the next day when you can have a fresh look at them!
