Same shot, second is just cropped more. I would really like to hang this on my wall but am stuck as to which one to use.

Any C&C would be greatly appreciated!!!

Could be my monitor but what about bumping up the saturation a bit--to make them pop.

The cropped one is very close to the original, just wasn't sure how much of the mill I wanted to take up the pic.

Actually, this is with the saturation bumped up. I printed it out using Mpix with the sat slightly higher than what you are seeing here and it just looked too saturated. Maybe I will go back and rework it alittle.

Thank you everyone. I do appreciate your opinions!!!

#2 for me. Just add a touch of saturation and a touch of contrast. Great image!

#1... You get the whole picture. Really it's beautiful I wouldn't crop out any of the colorful surroundings.

I like the tighter crop of #2 but it would be nice to see more of the rocks and trees on the right like in #1.

I'd use #1. In #2, you'll lose the tree camera right behind the matte since it's so close to the edge.

Radtech1's vignetting effect adds magic to the already beautiful #1.

I also liked the first shot. I would increase the saturation and contrast myself. Here I used LAB mode and steepened the A and B channels at the top and bottom 20% each and moved the Lightness channel curve on the dark end to the bottom of the histogram.
