Definitively nr. 1, I can imagine it as a laaarge print. The cloud is in the perfect position, the composition itself is perfect. The second uses red to attract the attention, but too much red object speaking together for me. Third - discard :)

really unreal... i like that...

lose the third. :)

it's going to be perfect.

as TŘ.
I like the second one much.

pure.
i'll keep comin back i guess.

visually very fine for me - I like it

I can't understand "the relationships between these pictures" but the second is "my cup of tea."

yeah, the first one... and you have a street lamp there! ;)

for me the last one in a bit more harsh light would be cool

Aha, thanks!

yes yes

Thanks,

About processing: I honestly don't know how to avoid that line aliasing problem, maybe I'm doing something wrong when sharpening the picture? Anyhow, this is only visible in the web-sized version. The second one I might try to process again, there could be more shadow detail but I wanted that narrow strip of light and the sky to be very much in contrast to what's in the shadow.

Regarding the connection of the two pictures, I agree with Doug that there is no "substantial" one. I think there are similarities in composition and elements which can be found in both pictures, other than that, it's up to everyone to find his own connections... or not. ;-)

i love the first one

of course that is in the end of way, but the dark side is too much dark :-)

how complicate :-)

first is great
second I am missing light

yeah, never mind the "means" of the connection... as long as there is one.

i dont think it would be like arthur to have the question put like that (which one is the better) ;)
on the other hand, i'd be hard put to find a substantial connection between these two. i mean, apart from those heavy-weight spiritual associations everybody creates exclusively for himself. or not? perhaps we'll find out here ;)

to me these are very good scenes, both!

(i'd just like to see more care in processing... in particular RE line aliasing on the 1st image and shadow detail on the 2nd. i love it when this kind of stuff gets nursed to perfection.)

What does that mean, Lucie?

wau... yy
