I'm partial to one of these over the other. I'm wondering which crop others like and which colorization.
 -or- 
Thanks for your insight! |

I am sure that most would like the 1st, but I LOVE the second one with a little fine tuning! GREAT shot!

i would like a color inbetween the two, and less sharpening (you can see a halo around the objects ;))

I like the crop of the first one better and the shot isnt over sharpened like the second one. This is a stunning photo that Im sure you could sell, very professional looking.

| I definitely prefer the second. With your diver arched so beautifully in space, you want some additional space around her to accentuate that floating feel. Very nice shot. |

Thanks for the quick insight guys, I appreciate it.
I'll try one that isn't as saturated as the second, an in-between.
I'll also work on the halo in the second, I didn't even notice it. Since I did no sharpening I think it's from the layer mask when I did a levels adjustment on the sky.
I'll post some more working models later. Thanks again! And anyone else please feel free to offer insight! |

I like the second one much better, but I generally don't care for centered compositions, so take this for what it's worth. In the first shot the woman's proximity to the top of the frame creates a sense of visual tension which I think detracts somewhat from the picture; it looks like she may rise partially out of the frame before she comes down. If I were watching the scene in person, I'd want to have more visual headroom than the composition here provides. The second image feels much more balanced, as the silhouette of the woman contrasts nicely with the curvature of the cliff, just as her dynamic pose complements it's resolute motionlessness.
As others have mentioned, the second image looks oversharpened. The color of the sky doesn't seem over saturated to me, but the water does look unnatural. The sharpening is at least partially responsible for the odd looking waves. |

Great Capture!
I like the colors of the sky in the first one, the crop of the second. Also, I like that you can see more detail of the water in the second, though it looks like you pushed it a bit too far.
With the tweaks in processing, I think you have a real winner here! |
