Rags, have to vote for #2 as just terrific. I love the foreground subject and the effect of green bleeding into the sky really works. I'm still trying to warm up to #1.

Another vote for #2. I'm quite sure nobody would have noticed the shadow problem--in fact, I barely see it even though you pointed it out. So does that mean it's a composite?

Yup it is a composite
Thanks for the additional comments
BTW... #1 is a composite with a watercolor treatment

The first one was printed on 40x60.
Very painterly because the viewing will be rather close and I didn't think a realistic resolved image would come out good.
I screwed up on the second one :. I printed with the vine row shadows on the wrong side of the sunrise (should have flipped it horizontally)
+1
