Hi Barry,

I would go with number one. Have you tried a slight CW rotation? There seems to be a purplish hue in the second one near the top of the fountain. Have you tried a B&W conversion of that one?

I'm no expert Barry but my eye likes #1 better. Maybe I have a crooked eye? I just think it looks more realistic. In the second one the glow around the top of the fountain really stands out and thats whats putting me off that shot. Can you see the glow I'm talking about, contrasting with the sky? Or is that my crooked eye again??

I prefer the first one!
I like the kind of "heroic" angle lol:p
Or as they say in intermission "mythic shot" lol

First by a mile... even though they're both clearly heavily post-processed, the second looks like it's been over-processed in search of some sort of 'perfect photo' whereas the first is sublime

Definitely the first one for me, both from a composition point of view and better processing.

#1 for me, but i think the water is overpowering in both shots.

i prefer the weird angle in #1 - it gives it that added something to the image. I also prefer the headroom that you have in the first. #2 is cropped a little too tight for my liking.

the colour saturation in both is great.

Would love to see them side by side with the originals if you felt like posting them in the "Before and After" thread http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055596074

I'm going for the first for #1 simple reason. For me the fountain sits too high on #2. Either slightly futher out and showing more sky or at a steeper angle to again reveal more sky.
