WB - any one have a thought as to which is better?

Out taking shots tonight - these two shots are essentially the same - one is what I feel is the true WB, the other is what the camera decided looked best at the time at the time

Thing is - I quite like the "wrong" one...Anyone have any thoughts?

And I suppose if you cannot guess the wrong one its not technically wrong :P

Second one is better, IMO. Colors stand out more and there's less detail missing in the shadow areas

Second one on my monitor.

Nice inage!

Very nice image. I like the second one, although I would tone down the magenta a little and increase some shadow detail.

Both seem off, in ACR try temp +12.tint -24 and recovery +24

Both are off from "correct" WB, but the second one looks better aesthetically.

Cheers all for the feedback

Your welcome

I also prefer the second one but I think it's more to the better exposure than the WB.

I don't actually like to think that there is technically a "wrong" white balance. It should be what you think looks best. Today whole editing, I corrected the white balance to what it "should" be and it honestly looked terrible compared to what I thought it "should" look like. Choose what you think looks best.

In this case I like the second image better.
