I think #2 is bad arse! Its like little "Rio Negro" in your back yard Lol.
It would look good where ever your monster 450 is
Honestly... I cant even tell you used different Lens. Everyone sees something different in pictures and in #1 I see the sun setting and me getting tired Lol
#2 I see me trying to look for fish or wild life in the pic as it has more up and down detail
JMO
Hmmmm......... If this makes any sense, I like picture #1 a little more because of the sun and the depth of the field etc.Looks to be a typical seen by the bay but who knows? Just a really nice picture all around. Picture #2 is a place I would love to go to in person. Looks like a great hunting,camping and/or fishing spot.
Since it is a photo-I vote #1.
If this was a painting I would vote #2.
Hopefully that makes sense. They are both great shots though!
haha nice!!! i actually printed out both through costco.com. ended up going with a smaller size so i can get nice frames for both w/o paying a buttload. ordered 11x14 prints, picking them up later today
