which sunset shot to choose?

Just need some opinions on which bride/groom sunset shot i should use.

number 1

I like the looks of the sunset better in number one, also the fact that you can still kind of see the people.

Is there any way to clone out the foam/seaweed? I find it a little distracting, but probably couldn't clone it out myself... still a nice image though

Thanks. sure i could do it but dont think i want to. dont mind that stuff.

the dress rock in no1

#1 Much softer warmer feeling than 2. The silhouette is too harsh in two, giving it a colder feel.

+1 on removing some of the seaweed. Mostly in the path of the sun's reflection.

I much prefer the colours in #1, and i think if anything, the exposure of the bride and groom should be pulled up a bit rather than dropped down.

Other than that, it is a great shot. The couple look very relaxed and happy

+1 to #1, would love to see even more highlights put on the dress.

Here is an update. got rid of some seaweed and lightened the dress. think i miss the seaweed!

I like! (even though I did before too) but I like better

I like 1 the best, with or without the seaweed. The details showing in the couple, especially her dress, make the shot much more interesting than the black silhouette.

I like the update. and the first shot is way better. can actually see some detail of them

I agree with the majority. Second version of number 1 nice work.

The update looks great.

Thanks...i stuck with the first shot in the series and left the seaweed. bride n groom loved the shot btw. Thanks all.

No, you don't s**k, the local did.

Needed a cleaner beach (without seaweed).

There's always Photoshop! Like you did but see about cleaning up the rest of the beach.
