Ship in a Bottle

[BabetteKD]

I was walking around taking photos of some of my mother's many, many decorations when I decided to salvage an image that was nearly washed out in red. I came up with these two versions, which one is preferred by the people of DPS?





Feel free to be cruel with critiques/opinions. After 4 years of undergrad and completing one year of grad, I can take it.

I prefer the second one. Although the effect in the first is interesting, I find it distracts from the sails of the ship.

I also prefer the second one, for the same reasons.

Even through I like the vintage effect of the first one, the second one is clearer. Did you try Sepia tone?????

Yup I like the 2nd one better as well. The sails are much more crisp

I'm gonna go against the grain here and say I like the first one better. It almost looks like a painting, and I like the nostalgic effect.
