Kieran I absolutely love both of these photos. It is amazing to watch our progress over the years, or even just how our vision and interpretation of a scene can change over the years. I am more drawn to the darker, more moody image myself, but I also do tend to like dark and moody! I love that the newer edit has a lighter feel, more ethereal and dreamlike. They are both lovely and both have their place in your journey, which is amazing to reflect on!
I'm not surprised you're drawn to the more moody image 😅. Like a storm is approaching the coast...
I wonder how a big storm or tornado would look with a lighter and ethereal edit?
