Oh but it's not more or less the same at all! The mood is completely different.

The other one's sensual. And someone's with the guy in the other one, waiting smiling on the sand for him to turn and wade back ashore.

This one is despairing; bereft. Nobody is waiting. And he might not be wading back ashore, either.

They're both good, but if I could see only one I'd rather it be this one.

I'm not sure I like the extreme softness. I think this shot would be fabulous without the softening effect. Great perspective.

Nice view, good tones, but I'm afraid I'm not fond of the processing blur

I like the dull gray of it - has that miserable dark feel you describe in your comments.

Love the quietness of this one, and the way that structure across the way disappears into the mist/fog.
