I prefer the one with more context, Todd, but that's just a personal opinion. It all depends on what you're trying to convey with the picture.How far did you push the saturation slider?
What Russ said :-)
Even if someone disagrees it's still better. Actually, I probably shouldn't put it that way. It's more realistic, only better if you don't like over-saturated colors. I'm a wabi sabi fan, so I'm in favor of a true representation of the thing itself.
I will get there one day, where ever that is.
