    I like the second one, very clear!
    What's the EXIF data on that?

    The first one, while depicting a very nice view, is a bit technically imperfect - high level of noise and the signs of post-processing distract from the enjoying the subject..ne_nau.gif


    Cheers!

    Yeah the first was so dark you couldn't even see any blue and barely any red, I dunno how to enhance it without making the post processing stick out. The grain was high because I used a very high ISO.

    the first one is alright it is rather grainy but that is what happens with high ISO I was there when you took the second one. that's when i was late. it came out good though. you could probably crop off a little of the blackness on the bottom though. see ya round

    I too like #2 the best and I also have to agree that some cropping of the bottom will help with the sky. If you want more accent on the sky, then the crop will help. Good shot.

    Here is the EXIF data extracted from the post:
    Exposure Time 2"
    F Number F4.5
    Exposure Program Manual
    ISO Speed Ratings 400
    Date Time Original 2005-09-06 20:16:58

    Thanks for sharing Tyler,
