which version do you like better?

[-kk-]

i like the focus that comes with vignetting, but its tricky in this pic to not get the rest of the image too dark. what do you think?

or this version.

I would say something in between 2 and 3. I like the fact there is more highlight detail in 2, but 3 has a bit more contrast and punch. Still maybe slightly too dark though. 1 is out of the running for me.

Nice photo! :)

I like #3 the best, I can make out all the details but matches the darkness in the sky! #2 is good also but the architecture of the building fades out too much! Great shots!

I like 1 or 3 the best. I love the high contras and the clouds are amazing

[Aquaman]

I liked #2 because of the better highlights.

I would go with #2. The vignette in #1 makes the image to dark. Nice shot.

thanks for all your replies. Im a little partial to #3 but will try to dodge some of the highlights in #2 to brighten it up a little.

that was an amazing day for shooting clouds, it threw up so many variations in such a short space of time i just went wild clicking at every corner. here's another one with some 'moody' clouds.

are these photoshopped? If not or if so Just AMAZING! Where was these takin from? and what lens?

A mix between 2 and 3 for me... the contrast is great, but 3 is just a tad too dark

MLPhotography: PP is done on the conversion and adding the vignetting, otherwise its all from the pic (nned to learn how to dodge/burn!)

these were taken from barcelona, spain around the gothic quarter. I used either the sigma 10-20 or sigma 24-70.

thanks all for your comments. Im trying frantically to get my dodge/burn technique up to scratch, but I agree a mix between 2 and 3 is the way to go. cheers!
