Hmmm, you know....I do like it better! I dunno....the angle, the depth. Seems to just be more...."right"...I like this shot more! :)

Yes, untouched is the way to go. I'm obsessive with framing and manipulation so thanks for pulling me back to the original.

Believe it or not, I like them both. I like this one, yes it's more natural, & the stones inside the arch aren't as white as in the other pic, maybe from the manip ? While I do like the stones in the other...sorry, I'm no help. This shot is so much more natural & I really do like the contrast between the brush & the stones. They're both good, IMHO.

In this version, the inside wall doesn't look as washed out, so I think this is slightly better.

Never mind all that; just tell us what's on the other side!!

P.S. It's better without the cropping, too, because more blue sky shows, and that nicely complements the colors of the stones.

I like it both ways.. It's a great shot..

I actually have a picture of what's on the other side.

This is pretty without having to use anythng at all...I like it very much. Please let us see whats ont he other side. I imagine its the inside of a house with no roof?

Love both of the images...both different and both great...different lighting different shading etc
still dont know whats on the other 'bliddy' side though!!!!
