I can see why you had a dilemma, they are both great, and look awesome side by side. Great work!

@Kylie Greenan: the one on the left the "spades" shape in the bg, the one on the right had that fish/dragon scale pattern towards the top =) thanks kylie! always nice to read your comments
@Eleftheria!: thanks for comment! drop by again someday =)

It has the appearance of stained glass on the casual glance, but as you look closely, it is the intricate details of reality, super shot.

you didn't have to but it certainly is very sweet of you :-) My preference for the ironwork goes to the left one, everything behind it to the right. But the composite is very nice as the lines of the ironwork in the left one flows over into the right one very neatly. Had to look carefully to distinguish there were actually 2 pictures :-) Went through the rest of your pictures and the thing that caught my eye (besides the nice pictures of course) are the titles and descriptions. Always with a pun that matches the photo very well. Very enjoyable to read. You're without doubt a linguistically strong person. Cheers, Emily.

@[suvni:R]: Thanks for taking the time to comment! for the first time, there was a "..." to be clicked on to view the entire comment. i think i slightly prefer the one on the left too, more complete bg, better exposure and tree neatly tucked under the curve. Yet, the one on the right had that dragon/fish scale interest at the top.. I was surprised to see the ironwork flow too - pure chance.
Coming up with a title's half the fun =) sometimes, it title gives the photo its contxt or some inkling why i took the photo. I haven't really "writing properly"(expressing my self or ideas) in a long while; i used to love writing as a child. Should explore that side of me soon.
Thanks again for dropping by!

Such wonderful detail here and combination of colours. The all meld together so perfectly, but still very compartmentalized. Great frame!

I first thought it was only 1 picture and they are working together. I prefer the left one for a question of sharpness if I had to choose.

I like the two of them together, although perhaps I might have burnt in the bright whites on the right side to match more the highlights on the left. I just find them a little prominent but others may disagree. In any case, you've certainly brought out the design here very well, and have framed it very nicely.

@Andrew Gould: i was gonna say i tried burning whites but it still stays white.. then i realised i need to set it to "hilights"! i tried it out, thanks! gotta keep that in mind, change it to highlights first then burn. yup, they were properly overexposed.. i was playing around with the apperture, tryin to make the foreground out of focus to no avial lol..Thanks, really appreciate the comment

Yes, you've got to look at those tool options. Glad you noticed that. All the best with your post processing!
