The picture was taken in Cornwall earlier this year. About 10-15 minutes after sunset, at f22 on tripod with a 4 stop nd filter. I was trying for a very long exposure to blur the water. What i got was a too-dark picture without a lot of color. I shoot Raw, so i figured there was still a lot of info buried in the darkness. Didn't process the shot until few nights ago, mostly using adobe camera raw with some photoshop and a final touch of nik. I was, frankly surprised at what i was able to pull out, admittedly adding lot of warmth to the sunset in ACR.

Now the question...which version is better. In the first version i tried for a more balanced look to bring out the details in the rocks. In the second version i darkened the rocks and brought up the sunset in an attempt to draw the eye into the shot. Does either image do anything? HONEST comments.
