Yes, you've got to love those purples, the colour one is great. I guess there's nothing really in the sky without the colour, hence your particular crops for each one.

Love the colour shot. The colour in the water and the sky bring the whole image together.

To my eye, the first is a picture of a viaduct, the second is a picture of a dead tree in water. It's all to do with the crop and colours. I like both of them .

I, too, like both of them. I must get some ND grads... ~sigh~

First for me - although agree that the crop on the second image shifts the focus away from the viaduct. Both images work

The first shot has the extra punch and vibrancy that raises it to a top class image (IMO) - Nice shooting Gareth

Two very different takes on the same capture - great job on both, Gareth. The coulours are beautiful in 1, the shapes and textures strongly present in 2.

Thanks all.

No.2 was taken before the sun had set and the sky was bland and added nothing so it was composed with minimal sky

Got bit to crap though!!
