Bottom, but it could do with cropping off the top quarter.

I'd go for the bottom one.

[koven]

Thank you!

 

[msbarnes]

bottom, may I ask if this is film or digital? If film, which kind?

 

[koven]

bottom.... but....

Need to work on the Contrast and Saturation.... even if was a flat gloomy day...
make it pop a bit more. IMO....

But, develop how you like... that is more important

I don't really like overly saturated pics and it seems most popular photography is moving away from that direction.

This is like my ideal look

Thanks for the replies I decided to not use either pic in my portfolio. Prints of both are still avaibale for sale though. 😛

Top .

Definitely the bottom image.

In the top image, the building silhouette at the left is a distraction, and the colors in the sky blow the top image away.

I like the top one better. It has a bit of a cinematic feel to it.

Top, but crop the right side.

Prefer the top one too. It is straighter amongst other things. The bottom one could be rotated counter clockwise some degrees, but I am too obsessional about orientation.

 

[matt_mcg2]

For me, top, but with a slight rotation to make the dark shadows from the closer buildings align with the frame edge.* I'd possibly consider cropping the right edge, too.

* I have a terrible habit of tilting every horizontal photo about 1 degree to the right, so I spot this in everyone else's photos too.

Bottom; slight rotation counter-clockwise.

 

[Peter_wrote:]

for me the top, if you crop it on the right side.

uncropped i may prefer the bottom.

 

[Spanik]

The top one, but both black buildings distract a bit too much.

 

[Gareth Rees]

Definitely the bottom one, but I like both.

 

[gavinlg]

Top. It has more of a setting.
