I prefer #2 for a few simple reasons (and its not to say #1 is a bad pic);

1- You get more of a feeling that you can see what they're looking at.
2 - The colours really stand out and look vibrant

What would really top the pic would be a Circular Polorizer

My Canon can.. I just need to find out how :rolleyes:

I like the first one, but I would edit it as shown.

It is difficult to accept #1 as not being posed, whereas #2 looks very spontaneous. - so I prefer #2.

The problem with both pictures is that we are not sure of what it is that everyone is staring at.
