Agreed, although I think I like the first because of the reflection in the foreground.

I'm curious about the exposure settings and if you used any filters.

Thanks everyone. I also prefer #1, because it conveys more "darkness" and because it feels monochromatic.

As for the exposure settings:

#1 f4, 15 sec, ISO 800

#2 f2.8, 30 sec, ISO 1600

Shot on A7 with Tokina Firin 20 f2.
