I have not posted a photo on the forum so not sure if the link above will work or not. I was curious if anyone would let me know which one they like better. I am torn and need help deciding.

Thank you from a new forum member...:)

Hi, Craig: The Pixentral link didn't work for me. Could you repost it there? It may be that the image you posted there was too large and they flushed it after you posted. There's a size limit, but I don't recall what it is.

Thanks,

[aggsys]

Thank you, Chuck for letting me know. I have never used that website so it is entirely possible that I exceeded the allowable size however I believe it was 648K. Strange thing, it is viewable on my computer in the forum post... I will try to downsize the photo and re-submit.

Many thanks for your quick reply.

Craig:

If I am not mistaken you must make the longest side (when you save your photo for the web) 700 px. Then check on the file size. it must not be more than 300, if it is over 300, lower the quality from very high, down to high or whatever will take the size under 300.

Personally, I can't decide which one I like best. It looks like a great shot. Can't wait to see it a bit larger....

I want to see it larger too but in the meantime, I think maybe I like the subtlety of the "before" better.

[Byron Gale]

The only thing wrong with the Pixentral link is an extra "]" at the end... lop it off and the link takes you to the beautiful images.

I vote for "after", because I love the contrast between the silhouetted tree-line and the saturated sky.

Here's the patched link:

The after is stunning!

(Thanks for fixing the link for us Byron!)

[aggsys]

Thanks for the feedback. I was partial to the After but wanted others opinions before I let my thoughts out of the bag... *smile*

[Wendy]

I love the after too :)

I am the odd one here I guess--
They are both very nice but I like the before one better

[Chuck S.]

To me, the before is warm and peaceful; the after is fiery. I suppose it depends on what mood you're in or want to be in.

A very striking image - either way!

I like both - but would like to see an "in-between" one - sort of having the best of both worlds.

I see. A fence sitter......;)

I'm more partial to the before version, but agree with Chuck, it depends on the mood you're trying to create.

Mmmm, I join the minority, I also prefer the before

I absolutely agree with Chuck. Depends on the mood!!!!

[ladybug]

I also like the both my favorite is the after. But if you want the vibrance of fiery or the calm of the before picture that would determine which one i would use like the others before me stated.

[maggiestampa]

I'd choose the second. It's stunning and very artistic.
