Which Photo Do You Prefer?

It's amazing what a difference it can be taking photos and changing the height of the camera when shooting. The photo I posted on Friday and today were taken exactly in the same spot, one shot has the camera inches off of the ground, while the other has the camera about shoulder high. The difference in perspective is incredible. Which brings me to my question, which photo do you prefer? I like today's photo because of the tree blocking the sun. Though I also like last Friday's photo because of the glare of the sun off of the snow, which is what I was trying to capture in the first place.

Don't you ask difficult questions! I've gone back and forth between the two photos (I'm no expert Slinger, so it's just a personal feeling) - and after mjuch back and forth, I prefer today's photograph. The other one is concentrating on the ground. Today we see more of the trees and the sky - I like that better. It seems to have more balance. Also I love the way the light comes through the trees. I think with the blue sky, today's is a more uplifting photograph emotionally. (Oh women and their emotions!) whereas the other one is a little more foreboding. Well you asked...

Both are fab photographs tho, no doubt.

I'm struggling to see a difference while rolling my mouse up and down, but todays is better, from the blocked out sun effect :)
