#2. In contrast to my remarks elsewhere about your processing, which generally I like, this one is plain weird. Processing from #1, composition from #2.Jeremy

I like #1 because I enjoy seeing the beautiful environment which your subject is set in. It all depends on the purpose of your photo.

Prefer the 2nd, but don't like the "grunge HDR" look !!Thierry
