Please Let me know which you think is better

[Mollman]

this is the original.



this is shopped....



trying to figure which one to go with?

[Skarlett]

The shopped one. The water is wonderful!

[jacksen]

The shopped one for me too! Perhaps you can do some dodging and burning on the water reflection to make it more prominent and stand out.

[gbratt79]

I agree, the reflection in the shopped one is very nice!

[mseigafuse]

I like the after better as well. Nice job bringing the foreground detail out

[Mollman]

Appreciate the kind words. Never tried dodging only had photo shop for short time but hey no time like the present!

[southernbelle]

Beautiful picture. I say definitely the shopped one.

[prince]

The shopped one because it looks sellable Hope it wasn't a bad joke

The 2nd one is better with more in the photo.. not always more is better though

[sandman935]

Gotta go with the processed version. The first one is just a sky. Sure, it looks nice, but it's not very interesting.

[Mollman]

Ok i did a little lightening of the boats. I think it is the last thing i need to do.

Here it is.



the one that was fixed minus the boats being lighter



thanks to all for criticism and encouragement. it all helps.
