Same bridge, two different times, a completely different mood

RuiMLopes

Taken at Oporto, same spot, before and after sunset:

#1





#2


Which one do you prefer?

I like #2 best, more saturation in the sky...#1 is very nice also

While both are nicely done, I also prefer #2.

torags

They're both very good.

I like both; colors on 2 are richer more varied, but 1 has a silhouette and a richer sky.

Nice work

...well, so far it seems that #2 is winning...it´s also my favorite but I´ll wait for some more opinions before I frame and hang it upon my office´s wall:D

#2 has a more calming effect because of the blues. It's just like an artist choosing his colors for a canvas to invoke a certain feeling. I like the fact that you used the rule of thirds for the bridge center also. I believe it will make a nice piece of artwork for your office....great job!

Too bad you didn't get the lighting of #2 with the framing of #1. That would be the shot I think.

BTW, they're building a very similar bridge to this here in the US over the Colorado River at the Hoover Dam. I posted some pictures of it here.

I prefer the second, but my wife prefers the first.

Both are very pleasing to my eyes, really. Nice shots.
