Which one?

[Jack56]

Hi all. I like to print one of the two. The first is in my opinion too dark, but do you think the second one is all right or does the grass attract too much attention?
Thanks for your comments.

The second is better.

The first seems artificial.

Second by a long way.

To be honest, I think they both look good. I don't see anything significantly different between then concerning the brightness. It's a good picture either way.

Thank you all for your kind comments!

Jack, you are welcome. Don't forget when printed the darks almost always block up to some extent so the printed image will be even darker. Printed picture two will look like picture one in most light.

Thanks, never thought about it. I don't print myself, by the way, it's a professional lab where advice is given.

Interesting replies, I'd go with the second but....
On the second I find the grass especially to the right and top right distracting
I'd crop more central (animals within an imaginary oval) and pp a fade to black at the edges, I don't mean a vignette though.
I think that's probably quite an old fashioned style but I think it would work for this subject
Consider how it will look within a mount and frame
If your going to print big, worth a test print to make sure you've got the pp right on the lambs
Love the pic, deserves a big print

Those lambs are just too cute!
