Took these this morning.

Which do you prefer?

The first one I severely lowered the saturation. The second has sepia added.

Please give me feedback. Thanks!

Excellent, I really like this stuff. #1 is my favorite although it looks like the one with sepia tones on my monitor.

Nice gallery too. I especially like your koi(?) photo in the animal sections. Nice colors.

Thanks for the nice comments. I actually had to double check that I had the right one in sepia as well. I think it's just the way the desat turned out.

Thanks, also, for the gallery comments. I really like the koi photo. I wish I had had my cp filter on at the time. I took that a few weeks ago at Sea World in San Antonio.

I really enjoy this, and I prefer the first of the two. Great details!

I like them both, but I think #1 just has the edge.

Great shot! Yes, I prefer #1 as well. It gives it that 'hot, working' feel where the second cools it down. Nicely done!

Image #1 looks much better to me (sepia looks ok in print, but it doesn't translate well on screen)...I think I would like it even better with the sats returned to normal...

Okay, here is the original:

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. I appreciate it.

(actually, now that I look at them all together, I think I grabbed the wrong original. The steam is in a different pattern in this one -- oh well. Which one do you prefer?)

I like the first one better. Neat shots! I tried to get something similar to this but it didn't come out nearly as nice as yours!
