I've taken some sunset pictures with my G9 but I'm having problems with the colour treatment and I'd appreciate your opinions.

There are two versions of each, a cyan version (closest to the original) and a more purple/warmer version.

Which looks better, and which looks more natural?

Nice shots.
I don't like the purple version as much as the other fwiw.

Most important... How do YOU remember the scene and how do you want US to see it? It's YOUR artistic vision, after all.

It doesn't matter how you remember the scene. #1 looks more natural for both shots.

Thanks for the comments. It's useful to know that the first is most popular.

The problem is I don't remember how it looks but as the first ones are closer to what came out of the camera (neutral colour settings) then I have to assume it looked more like that. But the camera can never represent the real scene exactly so there will always be some data 'lost in translation'.

It' a difficult one, but I try to get the balance right between what looks good and what looks natural.

Maybe not to you, but it would for me. And I'm sure I'm not alone in this opinion.

But of course, it IS just an opinion.

Edit: The OP asked, "Which looks better, and which looks more natural?". not which is more color accurate.

Color memory is notoriously unreliable, imo.
