I like 1 better. I think the dried leaves on the ground in the FG look better. Good luck with your gallery.

Re: Help Me Choose

Cheers sawdust, will do.

One has a slightly higher level of saturation than the other. It's better to look at them side by side, i.e. have two windows open side by side to really see the difference + decide which one is more effective. I hope a few more bods won't mind going to the trouble of comparing them for me, I'd really value a few opinions here

On my monitor No1 looks the better of the two, however; if I am undecided I print both and judge from that. After all the print should be the end product!...Kenny

Re: Help Me Choose

I can't see a huge difference between them, but perhaps compared side by side No. 2 has a slight edge - but it's very slight and is different from others views. Sorry I'm not able to be more help!

Re: Help Me Choose

I prefer No. 2 but it is very marginal. I would like to see the very light, sunlit tree trunk on the right darkened just a touch. At present it is rather dominating.

I prefer number one, although both are excellent. I admire the tonal range and sense of depth you have achieved and look forward to viewing the rest of your gallery when its ready.

Re: Help Me Choose

Not much in it but I'm going for the second one as I prefer the saturation of the leaves on the floor

NOT MUCH BETWEEN THE TWO CHARLOTTE, BUT I WOULD SAY THE FIRST ONE, AS
IT SHOWS MORE PERSPECTIVE.

#2 for me although it is so close as to be difficult to make any really useful comments.
