I do enjoy it when that happens to the sky in Yosemite. I prefer the comp in #1, but that color in #2 is fabulous. I really like the continuation of the line from Cloud's Rest to the bottom of the cloud and blue sky in #2.
I bounced back and forth with composition that afternoon. I have one that included the rocks/tree to the bottom right (not shown obviously) too. I'll post those when I get them processed.
