High Tide on the Marsh. . .which one is best

[gahspidy]

I shot these just alittle while before sunset and there was a nice warm mood on the water. horse shoe crabs moving about, and a certain "quiet" that I would actually describe as a sound all unique and beautiful in itself. I personally like these both but I do have a favorite that I'm leaning towards. However there are aspects in both that I .like and wish that all were included in the onbe I like best. I would really like to know, even if the general opinion is that neither image is very strong, which of these is a better one.
Lets see, the technicals were fuji superia 200, tamron 28-75mm shot at about 28 or 30 mm,circ polarizer,tripod and cable release set with mirror lock up as I usually do on these landscape shots. Even though that might be a bit overkill on a wide angle lens with a shutter speed that was about 1/125. (It can never be too sharp, if thats what one is going for)
All comments appreciated . . . .
