Wordless Wednesday turned into something else; as I am asking which version do you prefer? I initially created it this post to share one photo without the clutter of words, allowing the imagery to speak for itself. However, adding a another edit of the same photo led me to ask which one resonates more. Now I find myself curious about your thoughts?

I have to go with the second one as I like how the mist makes the mountains appear as if they’re undulating. That effect is more muted in the first one.
Version 2 is very striking
May I make it number three for two ::) ! Methinks I would rather be ‘there’ when the scene looked ‘livelier’ . . .
Number two absolutely lovely
Version two grabs my eye…the sun kissed mountain range is gorgeous.
Version 2 is my favorite. I like seeing the details of the mountain.
Unlike everyone else I’m torn between the two and can’t decide – both are lovely in their different ways. Number two has more drama but number one is more atmospheric 🙂 If forced to choose I might just go for the first one, if only to be awkard!
Each one conveys a different mood, I find
I’m absolutely with Sarah. I like the understated feel of thec first one even more than the drama of the second one. And what exactly do you mean by ‘the clutter of words’. You never write clutters of words!
The 2nd one is the ONE! 😉
Version two is more captivating and dynamic.
I prefer the version two too, it’s stronger.
Easy-peasy – version 2. xx
Subtle or striking is what you’re asking, Ritva? I actually like both. Sometimes when I edit I wonder if I’ve overdone it and should go with the gentler version xx
I like #2 best.
