Default Ship in a Bottle

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?

Ship in a Bottle - Aged

Ship in a Bottle - Blue Tint

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.

The only stupid question is the one that is never asked, except maybe “Don’t you think it is about time you audited my return?”

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.
