    Water Feature CC wanted

    I took this at a local Japanese Garden. I did one post processing in vibrance and the other in velvia. Is any 1 better than the other? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I'm finally being displayed in a coffee house and this is one I would like to hang up as a Canvas Gallery Wrap.

    Thank you!

    For me the second shot works better (it's the velvia, isn't it?)
    The reason is because the lower contrast doesn't obscure the details (look inside the pipe on both and you'll see the difference). It's also ever-so-slightly warmer.

    I choose the second as well (the shadows seem less harsh + just a little more detail in bg). Although it seems a lot softer... I would guess that this is "masked" on the gallery wrap though.

    I agree the second is the best choice, but to me the thing that bothers me about this image is the tilt of the pool of water. I keep tilting my head to get those concentric rings level.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??
