second one for the clarity of composition around the subjects. Foreground street could go a bit darker IMO
OR less vignette in bottom corners.

top one, less vignette, lighten up the street a bit.

i prefer the top, because i'm looking at the people not the textured street.
i take mostly b&w shots myself and i always go for the more painterly b&w look then one where you can see every fuckin detail. focused!

Yes I agree - the painterly thing, thanks

top one

I prefer the second one because it's part of the story of the women waiting to cross the road - it's where they're looking, it's where the action is going next, it's a character. In the top one, the women seem penned in to the mid-ground. If that's what you're going for then all well and good, but for me the bottom one is more expansive, and brings the women across the road to the viewer and vice versa..

thanks - trouble for me is the bottom one has better detail in her clothes, top one has better marks and better detail / reflections down the side. Think I prefer the top one overall...

mikotondria3, nice point that - I was thinking of the picture rather than the narrative which was daft in a way

I looked at them both at larger size (rather than the tumbnails in the thread) and while they both have a 'treated' feel, the second one feel more like an actual photo. The grain and treatment feels too extreme on the top one, it looks filtered.
Also, the top treatment and adjustment in levels etc really brings out the reflection in the window which they're standing in front of. I find this distracting. I ended up looking more at the stairwell in the reflection and the other people. Whereas in the second image they feel more alone, so I focus more on the two old women.There's a pretty obvious vignette on both image, was this in camera or is it added after the fact?

why are you even considering how two sites process your photos?

2nd one.
top one look way over processed and all those capped blacks are really too much (my opinion)
- benfal990
and yeah, vignetting is weird on second one. and too strong on top one.

thanks. sine, I did make them how I like, on each app. I could live with either, just wondering how other people felt. Some good comments I thought
- benfal990
vignetting is cool but in moderation and with all those softwares these days, we tend to over abuse them a little bit. we can tell when people did them in Lightroom.
