I really like the second –#1030? — the foreground is more interesting; although I can see the idea in #1,
somehow it’s not so appealing. The colours in both are superb.
i have to say i like both images, the composition is maybe a bit more interesting in the second but i think the light is slightly better in the first. two very well captured shots.
Two excellent shots, I would find it hard to pick between the two. I would have made the foreground slightly darker in the second shot as I feel that the grey rocks are a bit too distracting in the photo. I wonder if you tried cropping the photo so that it was a widescreen panorama how would it look?
