This is personal opinion but I think I like the flat light of the other one. Can't really pinpoint why, maybe it looks more natural. Either way both are great overall. Beautiful perspective. Nice work.

I on the other hand love this version!
Just the right amount of d/b to accentuate the natural beauty of the walls and ruins.

Dean, I think I agree and here is why (IMHO). In the second version the the detail of the wall has become the center of attention and the dwelling itself in the LRC becomes lost. I like both versions but for different reasons. None the less, I am amazed that these ancient peoples were able to build these dwellings so high up in the walls. Nice work Joeseph!

Very nice color and detail. Really stands out.

I like the newly processed one too. The one thing I would like to see is how high up this dwelling is. It looks high but I'm just wondering if a little more of the wall below would help or hinder this photo...not sure.

I prefer the first version for the soft quality of light and as John Klotz said, the detail in the wall draws attention away from the cliff dwelling.
