I like the second much better than the first. You can sorta just follow the line down. On the first, it's distracting to see the other side on the left.

I also like the second one. Skier nailed it.

my vote goes to the second one also, although without your naming it \"sunset\", i wouldn\'t be able to tell whether it\'s sunset or autumn sunshine or something else.

Second. the light to the Left is distracting from the focus of the picture.

bernadette

another shout out for the second.
makes a nice abstract.

did you do any photoshop magic to your pic?
looks like you may have amped up the saturation & something else i can't quite put my finger on...

nope, no saturation. however, the trunk in the background was originally much lighter than the brown part of the one in the foreground, so i selected it with the magic wand and lowered the lightness

Pretty colors. Nice for an abstract. Kind of hard to tell what is going on otherwise.
