Both images are very good and pretty and I am not sure which one I prefer. At the first glance the dappled one, but then the calm sea surface is rather too calm, so finally this one !!!
"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
Ah, the weather cleared up and it's a lovely day after all! :D
I'm glad you posted this for the comparison. I like how you darkened the other one to make it more convincing. This is good education on what can be done with editing Raph. Thanks for sharing this with us. Very good work : )
