I personally prefer the first one. Great shot!

Second one: I like gradual tint in the sky but the orange is a tad bit strong for my taste.

I like the first one a lot more because it looks natural, real. The second one looks fake.

The second shot looks artificial but the first one has great natural coloring and composition

Nice images eduafe!

I like both of them. Although I think that I would like to see the colors somewhere between the two. I think the color in the first one is a little weak and in the second a little too strong.

Also, it looks like you have some dust on your sensor. Can you see the two dark spots just to the left of white dot (Venus?)? I think that's dust on your sensor. It's a little hard to see on a dark image.

The first shot is definitely a great natural shot, it really captures what you were going for but the in my opinion the second photo is better. Photo manipulation goes a long way with people and the fact that colors pop out more and glow a bit more allows for that romantic feeling of a sunset with a crescent moon to be present. I would definitely try to blend it a bit more between the orange and the blue, thats where it seems kind of fake. Other then that, fantastic shot.
