A mind is a terrible thing to waste...to save you...I vote for #1.

 

[Stephen McCullough]

Um, you could keep both

OK, OK, the first one pulls my attention more at first flames, but I vote for the second. It's more intriguing, mysterious even.

the second, the decreased saturation matches the darker tones.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

See what I mean? The first pulls on the eye initially, but the second has more intrigue, as Stephen says.

That's a good idea, Stephen, I CAN keep both

I'm thinking about getting a good print made, so wonder which would print better.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

I like #1

I like #2 as well, but prefer #1

I suspect #1 may print better as well - depends on your printer!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

My printer's crap, so it will go to a pro shop...

 

[Brian Moore]

#1 for me.

On 2nd thought,....maybe its #2.

Nah,...I think it's #1.

#1 is like a detail right off Rembrandt's brush.
#2 is like a detail 200 years after Rembrandt brushed it.

I can't decide.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Good point!

I just woke up, man.. Give us some time-zone slack Before I read the comments, I voted like you did. NUMERO UNO! Bound for Buckingham Palace, Rob. That is if you accept the offer.

Did he use expired paint?

#1 for me.

On 2nd thought,....maybe its #2.

Nah,...I think it's #1.

#1 is like a detail right off Rembrandt's brush.
#2 is like a detail 200 years after Rembrandt brushed it.

I can't decide.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

LOL!

 

[Pete Askew]

I've been back to these several times now and, although I flirted with the second for quite a while, having fallen for the subdued and intriguing palette, the first is the one I think I'd like to see on the wall.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thy will be done!

Now, on what kind of paper? So many to choose from? And who to send it to? Framing too. Oh, it's all too complicated!

 

[Pete Askew]

I have been printing on this recently and am very impressed.

Looks interesting. I love the way they describe it as "100% Rag"!

But as I won't be printing it myself, I'll have to find a company which uses such paper.

 

[Pete Askew]

The fine, satin, 100% rag papers do work well with painting-like images like the one you have.

the second, the decreased saturation matches the darker tones.

I'm with Stephen and Beth on this one. I like yellows in #2 a bit more. Both of them are quite beautiful and I love hte diagonal.
