I would love to see #2 without the vignette and printed towards the same values as #1. Until then #1 for me as well.

I am sending this reply to you and Bob Story. I am surprised by the detailed critique and the feeling that the image is over processed. What would you guys have said about Ansel Adams photos back in the day?

I'm not a fan of black and white photography, but feel both shots are relying too heavily on developing technique rather than on the beauty of the scene. I would have to choose the first shot just because it shows more but yearn to see it's color.

Side by side in the OP, I liked #1 better; but when I downloaded both, #2 came alive, while #1 was a bit over the top with the contrast slider.Which one

I suggest you re-read what I wrote. The critique I offered addresses specific post processing issues, either (or both) of which can be a result of an over-application of 'clarity' during processing. I also mentioned, briefly, one of the ways the issue could be resolved, and one of the ways the overall images might be assessed.
What would I have said about Adams' photos back in the day? Pretty much the same as I said back then, and much the same as I'd say today: his images are masterpieces of pre-visualization and photographic execution. And that doesn't even begin to describe my appreciation for the aesthetic qualities of his work. I expect a lot of us Zone System users would say something like that.

Adams would have probably spent 3 weeks or longer getting the image right. The critique you have received is perfectly correct. A few tugs on some sliders without reviewing the details of an image carefully can never be compared with the work of Adams.
