I'd like to suggest an important consideration when you vote: Seagulls
It is important to create brand awareness for OOo, and seagulls are the
closest thing we have to a brand. Our single best opportunity to improve
brand awareness is to select a screenshot with visible seagulls.
Fortunately, there are a lot of screenshots where big seagulls are a
dominant feature. So this isn't a huge constraint. A lot of images have
prominent seagulls (1, 3, 4, 5, and others).
Along the same lines, I think it'd be good to move away from waves, so as
to focus more on seagulls. Nothing against waves, :) just a suggestion on
brand awareness.
And for the curious, these are the images I voted for:

Cheers,
I preferred the cartoony seagull and was sad he didn't make it. :(
