Statue of Liberty edited C&C

I posted the original yesterday and edited according to the comments. Let me know your thoughts. Original on top.

I like the edit better but think that the sun would be overwhelming in large print. Blown out and lack of detail creating to much negative space.

Thanks for the reply and good point. Any ideas on fixing/ preventing this in the first place? Keep in mind the was taken while on the ferry so POV is what it is.

Short of a photoshop sky replacement I don't know. I always have better luck catching the sun just at the horizon before it gets that blown out. I like the idea and where the sun is, just not so intense.

I like the idea behind the image, but the edit looks too false to me. I do like the original but would go for a harder silhouette.

On the edited version I would loose some of the recovered detail just to give it the added mystery.

How about an ND grad next time to get a bit more detail in the sky.
