Have to go with the rest, the second, it looks a little sharper and cleaner. Did you use any USM on the first one? I do like the colors in the first, but overall the second is the best IMHO.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.The opinions are valued. Both images had USM applied but only slightly on the 2nd image. They were shot in RAW and based on the feedback received I'll be reprocessing the 2nd image

I like the first one better, because the light and the shadow it creates makes it looking better to me.

If you can get rid of the grass in front of the rocks in the first shot...that is a much better image than the second one. It has focus and interest generated by the lighting and shadows. Image 2 is just flat and doesn't say much.

Thanks Pieq314 & Woolburr. I cropped out more of the grass, I tried to crop it all out but the wall did not look right at the very bottom of the image, parts were cut off. It would take me hours to clone out the grass and rebuild the wall:lol:

How about a slightly different crop? The lighting on the first image is so much better than the other one. I think with the right crop, this one could be a winner.

I like the color in #1 but not the shaddows, #2 the rocks though cool distrract the barn and the barn becomes background. Try shooting #2 with a lower F-stop to blur the rocks


a special thanks to the Big Guy upstairs
