Thanks for the input guys!
The reason I like the first one, is because it kinda of teases. Makes you examine the picture, plus I REALLY love the the way light bounces off the branches. It was rainy that night, so I think the water helped. The second one, I wish had a bit more colour to it, but c'est la vie. I don't shop my photos ... maybe I should.
@fanboy - what do you mean by "more interest"? I'm just curious, and any help I can get is greatly appreciated!
Cheers guys!
