You know, looking over 9-13, I'm so glad you entered 3 instead, because it really is my favorite. It's perfect: Buffy is hovering between real and a ghost, the green is just jarring enough to inspire discomfort but soft enough to not take attention from the figures. My next favorite would be 10, which is closest to 3. But because it's more muted, it's less impactful.
- In 11 they're too close to show the "distance", and the image becomes a little claustrophobic in its realism. - In 9 Buffy is so dark it loses the magical balance of 3, and she dominates over Giles. - 12 and 13 are too contained by the frame, whereas 3 has this wonderful space between them that feels vast and forlorn. And I appreciate the emphasis of the message in 13, but ironically, the caption fills up the space that illustrates the distance between them.
So don't doubt yourself! I think you made the right decision in entering 3!
