No longer need my input it seems but here it is anyway, hahah! ;] Firstly, I agree with your choice of using the first. My only suggestions on possibly improving the image would be to use curves (photoshop if you have it) to darken the midtones a bit. Just a thought. I do really like the second one too. I remember it from when you showed it to me a few weeks back. If I were going to put it in my gallery, I would play with the curves and levels to make things a tad more saturated; and darken and color the sky a bit to make it look more foreboding. I did that with variations and curves with just the top 1/5th of the image selected and feathered. Here is a sample, though I think I maybe pushed it a little too far, but you get the idea...maybe somewhere in-between. Yikes, I hear the boss coming, better get back to work! ;] --Kort
