Inspired by Charley's use of the forum, I would like to employ the opinions of the seasoned viewers of photo that frequent this site . I have one space left for my family calendar, and I'm torn between these two. Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

Re: Another which is better photo set
Hey Adam,
Both are great pics. I like #2 best. The mountains have a bit more detail. Plus I like the color of the trees in #2. The color of the water in #1 is fantastic though. Tough choice

Re: Another which is better photo set
I prefer No. 1. The rim on the far side seem to be exposed better in number 1.

Believe it or not, I barely ever ride a mountain bike.

If you can pull out the detail on the far rim and lighten it, number one is number one. A more balanced composition.

I prefer # 2 - but I am no expert!
Some people are really fit at eighty; thankfully I still have many years to get into shape…

Re: Another which is better photo set
#1 by all means.If you have some good digital software maybe draw out a little bit more detail from the far ridge.#1 is the best regardless,in my minds eye!
Re: Another which is better photo set
I like #1 better, it follows the photographer's "rule of thirds" more, a well balanced composition. I also like the exposure of it better, the bottom one seems to need more contrast. Crater lake is hard to decide how to shoot and crop photos to best show off the grandure of it!
Family calender...hmmmmm.....nice gift idea Thanks!

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. ~John Muir
Re: Another which is better photo set
Your picture one has a sense of depth and mystery about it that two lacks.
Two does have better visual detail but looks a little flat.
I will second others comments about brightening the exposure on one. Perhaps two was overprocessed - excess dimming of highlights and brightening of dark areas does that. One of my favorite excesses too. Try more contrast or use the levels dialog more instead. And selecting an area in Photoshop will allow doing this to that area only.
