I decided that my original version of this pic, seen here, needed a bit more contrast. if you commented on the first, please don't feel you need to comment again. :)
I'd vote for about halfway between the original and this one, because some of the details of the clouds have been lost. (PS: I hope I haven't infected you with the "tinkering bug" -- you'll be spending all your spare time doing this instead of grading papers or something.)
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

It will be interesting to see the difference in the scores, since you did so well with the first view. Personally I prefer this reworked version, as I am more and more becoming addicted to light and shadow and color play :)

Donna, although I commented on # 1, I like to say that you've improved the contrast indeed. To me # 2 is slightly better (beautiful versus more beautiful). Regards, Cornelius
