Title: Which Edit? Sunset on the River
Post by: sbauschl on December 03, 2014, 10:10:18 pm: It's hard to be objective after seeing the same picture for an hour! Let me know which one you like better!

Likewise.

The second, without doubt.

#2 is more about the sun and the water but #1 is more of a graphic about the vertical and crossed poles and bird. I'm not crazy about all the sky in the shot, probably crop most of it out.

Post by: SZRitter on December 05, 2014, 09:29:15 am: I like the sun/sky of the second one much better. However I find the second color tone in the water a little distracting.

But, I like the water and single tone of the first one a lot better than the second. It's just the sky feels really over-exposed.

Post by: maddogmurph on December 05, 2014, 03:31:49 pm: I can't decide. But I noticed that I can see the processing in the water on #1 a bit. Initially as small jpgs, I liked #1, but when I looked at the larger image I seemed to favor #2, so I guess it depends on what size you were going with for me.

Post by: davidh202 on December 05, 2014, 08:25:06 pm: I agree with Walt ... a 3x4 aspect cropping about 1/3 off the top does it for me, (on either shot)

Post by: slothead on December 06, 2014, 08:49:04 am: I like #2 better *the one that someone described as a "distinct orb." I think the first one looks just a tad blown out. Nice image.
