BP Portrait Award 2011

I always enjoy to vist the National Gallery Portrait in London. Each year, a competition is taking place: the BP Portrait Award, promoting the very best in contemporary portrait painting. This year more than 2300 artist were hoping from all over the world... and here are the four finalists. The 14th of June, we will know the name of the genius winner. Then, from the 16th of June to the 18th of September 2011, the National Gallery Portrait is giving an exhibition with the 55 best portraits of the competition. The Admission is free.
I want to see that....
So, the bets are open, which one do you prefer? ...
