Which is the better base image?

[Snydremark]

Hey all, I'm having a small, internal dilemma in deciding which of these images I like better. Basically, the same shot; just turned the CPL "on" for one shot and "off" for the other.

C&C on either/both appreciated.

I like water in #2 and everything else in #1... layer mask perhaps ?

Turn it half on next time :)

I prefer the 1st shot. As it is the land is just too dark in the second and you lose the warmth in the sky. Of course, both those can be fixed in PP.

agreed with amamba. I can see why you are struggling with the choice. I would probably go 2nd, to work with the better reflections

The second one for me. It seems lighter and the reflections are better too.
