Default Can't Decide - Topaz Adjust image

My daughter and I went out after a fresh snowfall and were able to capture this nice burn. I decided to try out topaz adjust some more and now I can't decide which I like better, the color or black and white. Both are topaz adjust of course.


or


So, just like that show Who Wants to be a Millionaire, gonna use a lifeline and ask the audience which one they like most.

I like the BW version, in my mind the red in version one takes away from the image.

I like them both.

The red is a little over done.

Maybe drop your saturation a little and you will get the best of both worlds.

It would probably be better if the main part of the building was not in the center.

Nice Job.

I felt same way, that is why I did a black and white. So now I just did some adjustments to mellow out the topaz adjust so it's not so strong and cropped it. I really need to work on watching the rule of 3rds thing also, seems so easy to forget when focusing on just getting the pic.



Thanks for the feedback! It's only way I learn
