I got a lot of people who wanted to see a high contrast version of this image on another photo site, I'd like to get your opinions on which is the stronger image? The other is posted in ESS.

Thanks

Get rid of that rock on the left, print it 12x18 and give one to me.

I was really expecting to see this in EP this morning...

Zack,

This is outstanding! Repeating Mark, print it and send one to me :-)!

Regards, Simon

They both excellent, and I actually don't have a preference. However, if you were to add even more contrast to the clouds alone, it could make it even more surreal and appealing to me. Awesome

Didn't see the other one, but this one is spectacular!

Killer image, Zach - I prefer the rock on the left because it really balances the image. I strongly believe with haystacks and rocks there is a need to balance them on both sides.

High contrast would be my choice. To me it looks closer to a silver halide print.

Very very nice Zack, I like this version the best. B&W was the way to go...

This is beautiful, Zach. The radial pattern formed by the clouds resembles a stylized rendition of the rays of the setting sun--without the sun visible in the frame. If I could suggest an alternate title, I might call it "In Imitation of a Setting Sun".
