Alone in the Mist

Its a lovely shot.
My preference is for the first one. Not sure if that is because I know the second is a cut and shunt.... thinking about it I don't think that is the issue. I think I prefer the first because the expanse of empty space on the left makes the image seem more tranquil/lonely. There is also something about the trees being close to, almost overhanging, the boat. Not sure if it is a slight air of menace, as if they are looming over the boat but there is def something there for me.
The second, by comparison, feels disjointed.

Well put, Dan. It's not easy to explain but I completely agree, and you've said it better than I could articulate.

Kevin, I like this one a lot more. Just seems better balanced with the boat further to the left.

Thanks, Karm

Just ordered some metallic gloss paper (per Allan's suggestion), to printit. I'll try both versions as I'm still stuck as to which I prefer
