None of these give me a feeling of tangled roots of dangerous barbwire. The grey, moody one is adequate. Most of the rest are too bright and jolly.

Where in Germany? I have to agree with Nina none of these work for me. They are a bit too travel guide cover to evoke feelings of danger. No 1 reminds me of Nice in France and I thought of Prague when I looked at number 4.
