Only really posting this for an opinion. This is a (very) slight rework of an old image, that I'm thinking of entering for a competition. - I will put up the original as a version.
It was an early attempt at using strobes in my landscape work
Just dug out the technical info

A fine shot with nice depth of field to lift the post from the background. Definitely V1 for me, too!

V1 for me too, first off. It conveys the light and textures on the post, particularly the left side of it, much better.
On first viewing I wanted to crop a bit off the left of the frame, then I started taking in the greenish detail top left. It echoes the green tones in the post so beautifully, and balances the red top right.
Like this a lot. It does what I enjoy, it creates a connection, a relationship between two separate subjects.
I assume you've tried b&w?

V1. Love the green and less vibrant colour, and the vignette. Holds it all in.

(so, did your daughter take your previous image and you're trying to pass it off as your own!??? If, you're redundant. Good on her and shame on you. 
)
Definitely V1 Nick the green breaks up the predominant golden brown colours
Half of it is out of focus but V1 is better than V2 anyway for removing the warm colour cast.
I like this Nick,a bit different but it holds my attention well.
V1 for me,the tones are a bit in yer face in V2,especially on the post.

It has so gotta go Hun !
Are you printing it for a competition ? if so,choose your paper well,not one for a glossy finish methinks.
Thanks all, lol @ Chris
Thanks Janet, I let the long lens project go a bit. I must try more, just to be different- and yes I don't like glossy paper either.
John, Bart of the image was meant to be out of focus, I've got enough F16 wide angle shots in my pf
Edit: remiss of me thanks for the opinions re versions (I agree btw).
Looks good Nick , all that orangey atmosphere !
Does look like a still.
Im looking for that third tie down on the rope to be a little more distinct supporting the horizontal though.
Its a bit lost in the black blobby shadows and would have added to the tension of the diagonal.
Got any more New York ones yet
Cheers Dave.the lighting here was a nightmare, this was 90 mins after sunset, and I was stood in 18 inches of water, this was the best I could get (now I would try a few more things)
Not got round to processing other New York images yet, been away most of this week, don't worry there will be a couple.
