I was doing some color adjustments and decided to do two for this one. One of them I adjusted until it fit my memory, the other I intentionally went overboard with.

I like them both in their own way. I was curious which one you preferred.

I prefer the first one, for sure.

[johnske]

Yup, first one for me too

I think it depends what look you're going for. The first one for a natural look but the second one for an industrial look.

[barladeanca]

I really like the second.

The first one is great, but I really love the second one. I love the colors in that one!

I love the second picture - the way that all the old, rusty colours are emphasised. The first one just looks a little too plain and lacks a certain degree of contrast. But that said, i think that you could do with cutting down on the amount of blue in the second.
