Ground in the second, sky in the first. Sky would be best a blend of the two with the clouds in the upper region being more towards white.

I like both.
#1 is closer to reality.
2 closer to dream.
Only I would surly crop the grass more specially on image 1.

Neither are worth pursing further at this point. What's your subject? You've got grass and sky but nothing to pull the image together.

First one. Both are pretty pictures, but the first one looks plausible and pretty.

#1. #2 has the saturation too high.

Prefer the sky in the first, but as said, too much grass and the horizon is weak, subjectwise.

Many a time I have looked out of the window at home at a fantastic sky and thought what a pity I'm not somewhere else!

#1, #2 is overcooked. The color in the grass is unnatural.

Yea, I'm at a point where I'll keep the sky the same but change the grass back so it looks natural like the 1st pic. Like someone said, a mix of the two :cool:
