Re: Two versions of the same sunset picture

There was an absolutely brilliant sunset here yesterday evening. I was
able to grab my trusty old 300D and snap a few photos. I live in a
subdivision so it wasn't possible to get a shot with no houses in them.
This first photo is straight from the camera with no post processing.
The second is one where the houses are removed. I think the original
is better giving more color/contrast to the sunset and showing beauty
can be found in mundane places. What's your opinion?

Hi Michael,

I prefer the original for a few reasons. The main reason is that the
second picture (which is fine by the way) simply looks too much like
so many other sunset pictures out there. The first picture just has a
bit of an originality to it for me. I also like the breakup of the
extreme contrast of the dark hillside and the ultrared sky.
