Maybe the 50mm wide angle is better ??

The foreground doesn't work for me either. After looking very carefully to it I can imagine the last melting ice of the winter. But I can't get rid off my first impression of dire muddiness.

The second one is a very early scan ...could be a little muddy.   Definitely not a large file    Not sure the film on this one ....


 Probably two images in each .... should had maybe shot the mountains or just the foreground/  The whites look good and decent blacks ...Bronica S2a

The mountains in the second picture would give an excellent panorama, but you have to crop...

#1 is a "crop" of  #2 --   in a way .... But could just crop to a panorama ...long & narrow ...

#2 for me.
The wide angle gives that sense of space, the mountains are not too small and you see a broader range of them.
The "hand of man" in the middle creates this tension between nature and what man does to it,
so you have a statement of desolation - otherwise it would just have been a pretty shot.
In #1 for me the perspective is too compressed and claustrophobic.

Probably way too influenced by Brett Weston in those days == this is the crop I saw --but could not get close enough from the shore.
