No 1 looks good to me. The sky gives the shot a real sense of excitement. I think you are losing a tiny bit too much of the green in the shrubs on the wall but I suppose that complements the slightly darker tone in the first one.
Hi Mike, as irishshagua said it lost some green on the wall and also the blue on the boat looks a bit faded or even noisy, but thats tonemapping for you. Nice to see you back
