I like the second one much more than the first, which seems just too clustered at the bottom half with all the limbs.
First one is a great perspective, however, and nicely handled.
Yeah, well I like the first better!
So, take that, Tim!!
While the first has some competition going on between the upper and lower parts of the image, especially on the left, I find those windows so intriguing. I suppose you could crop from the bottom to tighten them up as the primary subject.
Looks like a beautiful place and fine BW conversions.
I've been staring at these for a while and they are both appealing for different reasons, the windows in the first shot remind me of the Avatar page here on FM which is amusing to me.
In the second shot the clarity is amazing.
