PLEASE help me decide...

So My photo friends at UF are getting sooooo tired of me asking, but I can't make up my mind.

These are two photos that I took while in Barcelona last summer, and I find reasons in both that make each one strong. PLEASE HELP ME Decide which one is stronger...

let me know what you think and why you think it. Thanks!

Man! I think this is a really hard one to decide upon! I love the first one because of the two people standing their in the flames together, but then I love the color bursts and all the other people in the bottom one. I would have to say that the first one caught my attention alot more than the second though.

Great photos girl!

Hi Luanne--

I really like both pictures. But, both are in dire need of cropping to make them better images. The top one can be cropped at the water line at the bottom and get rid of the fountain spray on the left. The other can be cropped two ways. The first is the chop off those two people on the left and crop just to the left of the two people in the middle of the picture. That way, you get 98% of the water spray in the picture. But if you don't mind the black-blank space at the top left, then you can crop to the right of the people in the middle. Either way, cropping needs to be done to make both pics stronger, tighter and simpler.
