Wonderful composition, Michael. I love the layers and colors are outstanding. I do think I like the repost better. I find the yellow patch at the upper mid-left a little distracting; I might slice a little off the top to remove that.
I like the otherworldly look to this image and I prefer the original post with the saturated colors... reminds me of color slide film. Beautiful capture.
Hey Michael,
While maybe a bit unreal.....I'm with Richard and Lance....I prefer the OP. I'd also seriously consider patching in the white opening in the dark cloud.....but still nicely done.
