Upon first looking, I definitely gravitated to the first one. The first one is more visually striking, so if that’s what you’re going for, then my vote is version 1.

You should only ask close friends these type of questions, otherwise you are liable to get some bad advice. Of couse, no offensive to those who have given you their advice.

The target-magig looks like it’s trying to catch the cloud in the top photo. I was instantly impressed.
Two looks like a photo I would take. (I’m a total amateur.)

number one for sure. both are truly beautiful, but as i have learned in the past – go towards your instincts. my eyes sucked towards that one like a magnet (the sky, the ground, the framing.) really beautiful work man. lets hang soon.

Number Two! You get a better sense of the space around the target, and the distance allows the target to speak for itself, whereas the first one kind of forces “menacing”.

I like the sky and ground better in v1.

I like 2.
#2 has more grit. it reveals the authentic character of the subject more. Thin, empty, somewhat viscious & lonely. more sam peckinpah.
#1 falls under the hyper-romantic landscape that sentimentalizes even ugly subjects. I do appreciate pretty clouds.

I like v. 1 better as well. The sky is nice but the ground is more interesting to me.

Okay, one’s nice, but two is better. The sky is better; the long thin shadow from the poles is great and the cracks in the ground are sharper making an interesting contrast with the sky.
What bothers me about both of them is the vision of some guy named Bubba with a gun in one hand and a beer in the other out there spraying lead all over the landscape.

Yep, me too like the firs one, because of the nice natural contrast of the light. The cracks & misty feeling are pretty at the second one though…
But i also like fluffy clouds…
Good luck!
