Conceptually I like it. I like the colors in the first one; very monotone. However, I think the gunk on the feather ruins its serenity. Which depending on you might or might not be a good thing.
The second one has great color but it also has more noise. Gives it a non-photographic feel. With the first one the noise make the picture softer; witch is kinda of nice. But in the second one it's a bit to much, in my opinion.
Of course these are just my opinions and I not much of an artist myself.
I prefer the first by far. I think I would like it more if the feather wasn't covering the sunset quite so much - it gives me a kind of agitated feeling like someone standing in front of me when I'm trying to watch TV

Agree with the covering of the sun... If you try it again, maybe try to get a thinner wisp of the feather covering the sun, instead of the thicker parts.
I like them both about the same... just depends on what mood you're going for... scroll up for happy and down for sad...
