The two are very different in feeling, even with the similar processing.
But I like them both very much.
In fact, they are both equally dramatic, but serve entirely different purposes, so are both equally valid.
Something I've noticed time and again on this forum, members seem to feel the need to rank the images according to their own preferences. While that might be helpful if a contributor is trying to decide between two images, often the photos can stand equally well on their own, as these two do, yet have different, equally valid perspectives. I'm not convinced there is a need to rank them or give a preference. But, hey, that's my own opinion.
