Below are two shots of the same scene I took the other day with matching exif data shot in manual.

I personnally really like both but I thought I would ask for some input mainly in regards to the composition but any other feedback welcome.

I believe this post would have been better in comparison critique..

For my part, i like the first composition better. The silhouettes are better positioned for my taste.

Hi!

I really like the first photo better. The buildings seem to be placed more natural and the gradient fom the horizon to the top edge of the frame is totally awesome!

I dont know, but I like the second one, because, for me, it looks cleaner

I think the first one is better of the two. There's a LOT of empty space in the upper half of the image that I don't particularly care for, however.
