Which do you lovely people like the most - or do you think there just not very good?

I may have been looking at these too long and lost my way a little (or a lot!!)

The color one with more contrast. I'm not a fan of black and white. But that one's good too.

Great shot! My vote is #2. I feel it is a bit more inviting.

Either color shot works best for me. I think #1 with a more foreboding sky is a little better. Very nice work and I think I'd print it big and hang it.

I like the B&W version best but would bump up the exposure a tad and lose some of the vignetting. Also the purples bother me. Would rather see pure B&W.

I like #1 for color, but the BW works really well too. #2 looks a bit washed out to me, but that seems to be in style. #1 I feel is more powerful, and yet more serene.

I like #1 the best, but wonder if you cropped off a bit of the right side (where the hill shows up) and the bottom if it would work better.

Number 2. The slight addition of the grunge fits the subject better.

no. 2. It's got more detail in the shadows than 1. Not keen on the b&w - I think the colour works well in it.

Good shot.

#1: I like the rich colors, it makes one focus on the sunset and creates a fleeting time effect in which the foreground is increasingly getting darker in contrast to the background.
