slightly more contrast......

Joe, the increase in contrast is beneficial, imo. Wonder how a slight vignette would appear, as the bottom erosion channels radiat outward towards the corners.
My preference is for the color version, though, as it often is.

These are both nice, Joe, with my preference being the 2nd one, as the increased contrast adds a bit of depth, but the color version is still my favorite.

A very well framed graphic Joe. Less contrast seems to let the more subtle textures shine.

I'm a color nut, so I prefer the version on Landscape.

Great comp, Joe. I'm with Jesse here, I prefer the subtler contrast. I'll bet this is entrancing at full size!

I like the slightly less contrast better, the image seems to be more about the textures and details and less contrast works better IMO.
