New York City Sunrise part deux

I was asked for a my subdued version. Well, I have one that's a bit wider then the last. I sincerely hope it is displayed the way I intended.
Please comment, my art is work in progress.

This one works really better for me.

The sky matches the now the buildings!

The other one represents what I really saw but ok. I'll take a positive reply where I can get it!
With kind regards,

This one may not be as correct as the other, but it is much more believable, IMHO.

I like your first version just fine. Sometimes nature is a little gauche.

Thank you Scott!

I find this version more "believable" and more likeable. There are occasions when a photographer has to reduce the impact if he/she is showing an image to an audience if they want approval. However if you shoot something that is contrasty and colourful and you like it then that is fine.

In the end, you have several "interpretations" of reality, and you choose the one you prefer, or the one your clients prefer.

Who said a photo has to be believable anyway?

I like the city better here but I'd bring the sky back to what you saw.  I agree that there really ARE sky's that look like that to the naked eye.  I often see 90 second windows of time where the sky can look like that here in North Florida.  It's short but it's mesmerizing.

Well said, Paulo. I prefer this one, but it ultimately comes down to your decision.
