Oooops... Funny. We were typing at the same time, it seems. You have actually replied to my question while I was typing it...:-) These are internet miracles, I guess... Thanks for the answer. Regards.

Me again... I'm sorry. I do prefer this version, that's for sure, but after looking again at the other one, it also appears that you have actually cropped on both sides in the other version, and that the old version had a lot warmer colors... So much so, that I wonder now whether these are nt 2 slightly different original frames, or a different color adjustment. Difficult to be sure without looking at both frames next to each other, mut what I learn from this shot is that negative space seems to play a positive role here, and also that I personally feel more romantism in natural colors than in extreme colors in such images. Very interesting. I would be glad to learn a bit more by simply reading the facts & your own opinion about the 2 versions. Thanks for giving us something interesting to think about. I rated the previous shot a 9, and this one a 10, but I'm now worried that you have a 3rd version that would be an 11...:-) Best regards.
Marc - I agree with you - this is the version I have on my wall.

Hi Greg. I suppose it is not by accident, that you have uploaded this 2nd version of the same shot... You probably meant that we should compare them...? Well, I have compared. And as a result, I have removed the previous version from my favorite gallery, and added this one instead. :-) I very clearly prefer this. I think you may have thought for a while that there wasn't much to see on the left side, and cropped for that reason, but I feel the left serves as an extension of the right. Basically the fog fades in the distance, and to me, that is really wonderful - more romantism and more soul. Best regards.
Greg, I like everything about this photo: The misty sky, the reflection, the sun through the trees, and the bit of foreground to give the photo perspective and grounding. Well done!!! Sam
