Tahoe stream

here are two different crops of pretty much the same thing. i wanted your opinion on which one looks better. also any suggestions you have on the photos themselves. any help will be much appreciated. thank you

I prefer #2 but it's not the crop it's the tone and exposure. Nicer feel to my eyes, and peaceful.

i agree. it has a very nice "flow" to the composition. also number 1 the rock just to the right of the waterfall seems a little harsh. might try to lighten it up on PS. its a bit distracting.

great photos

First cool shot
But I have to go the other way I like #1 better not sure why
Both are good crops

Thanks

I like the first one too, the color and exposure, I prefer the warmer browner tones.

I prefer /2, the stream kinda laeds you to the fall.. the rocks in /1 are cut off and make the composition a little bitty. Lovely colours and textures in both.
What shutterspeed did you use??
