Nice images, Joe. I like the composition of the 2nd. It seems more serene than the first; possibly because the two figures seem relaxed. In any case, they give a sense of scale.

I prefer the second image with composition and colors Joe The yellows have some green tones which I don't like in the first image. I think it can be fixed easily in PP

[pnodrog]

I am another supporter of the second photograph. It looks over sharpened or the clarity used too vigorously but it is a great shot.

[Arjung]

The second photo is a much better one Joe. It is much better composed - it has foreground, middle ground and a background with contrasting colors

[madcrow]

I have to agree with the above the second is best

[Wavelength]

I would name this "in the golden hours..."

#2 I prefer Joe. Sensational sunset-you have captured the true essence of that moment. Wonderful silhouettes. Warm regards.

I also prefer the second one. What about darken the picture so that the persons on the left can be only seen as silhouettes?

[bje07]

I agrre with all comments # 2 is better.

[Shadowman]

Nice, the second one for me. The first is a bit too smooth with the waters.

I am never sure which gives a better image and have leaned toward lightening the shadow areas instead of leaving as a silhouette. Here they are slightly darker and more in shadow/silhouette.

I prefer the original

Thanks for the comparison.
