depth or no depth....that is the question

Input on these two shots? I'm trying to decide which of these I like better. I'm leaning towards #1 I think.

Tough choice Brandon. I like the way the dark coloured railing stands out, almost alone in #2 and how it shows its place in order in #1, both cool shots. I can't decide :? :!: :?: :idea: :arrow: I think I'll go with #1 :| :D

I'd choose #1 although something in between #1 and #2 might be even even better.

i like 2
on 1 there is a bit too much info
nice shot

[LaurentiuB]

#1 is my choice but also #2, it could be nice if you can take one between #1 and #2. :)

I prefer the first. Sharp image in the foreground and fade off into the distance.

I like the first best, but it all depends on what you are trying to stress here. Are you going for the long series of wooden railing, or stressing the brown alone. I think #2 is fine to just point out the brown one alone, but #1 stresses to me both the series of railing and also touches on the brown.
