Yeah I love it! And I think that between those 2 similar photos that you posted, there is a lesson in photography (not that I'd dare teach it to anyone here )
But it's clear to me that the velvia one works, the other one doesnt and it has nothing to do with the film used. In the second one you have things cut off at the borders of the frame which is (almost) always a bad idea. Then you have the main tree dead centre and everything else is randomly scattered and a little too bokeh'd to the point of becoming mushy and unidentifiable. Everything else also seems to be at the same distance from the lens thus killing any sense of depth in the photo. But in the velvia one you have things in the front, middle and back, thus creating layers and helping the lens and dof of the camera shine and add "3D-ness". Nothing is cut off and the main compositional elements are nicely positioned across the frame. Not too anally positioned, just spread out enough to balance the frame without killing the randomness and of the place and realism of the photo. Controlled realism, makes me feel like I'm there, half dreaming or something
Spyro: And here's where personal preference comes in, I distinctly prefer the second one as it doesn't have foreground oof objects distracting you. Both are very good shots but the second simply works better for me.
