Unlike many others you have chosen to use a tilted horizon in the frist one! Applause for this and the nice colors. The 1:1 ratio works well with the diagonal composition.

I like both. #1 because the square format does create some interest and attention in and of itself with the very nice diagonals. However, the bright white clouds on the right edge really grab the eye and because they seem too truncated act as a distraction. Still a very nice image. #2, more a classic composition for the subject is extremely well done with the horizontal lines gently flowing through the image. Since I don't know what the original colors looked like I am reluctant to comment on the saturation but it does almost go over the edge for me even not knowing the real deal.

True seconde is more classic and now with the black background i think maybe its a litle overdone colorwise.

The 1:1 version is like it was, i did not change the horizon ore anything. The clouds look like they going up ,its maybe distursion of the focallenght(?).

Now as i present the 2 of them in one post,i see a diference in color and thts maybe the angle to the sun with the polafilter....... PP was in my 'good ' memory almost the same.

Thanks for youre reply!

I think its an bonus because the rest of the picture is 'nice and calm/tranquil' The clouds give it an extra dimension.......
Distracting? maybe, not in my opinion.

Thanks for youre reply,

Number 1 for me for sure. Make it black and white and it would be somewhat reminiscent of an old school style landscape. It's great with Color for sure. That being said going B&W would emphasize the lines and the wispy clouds. Just an observation. Wish I had cool places like this to shoot where I live. Great art Daytona
