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:
