I may have looked at them in the wrong order, as I just commented on "view 2" a few minutes ago. I like that one better. I find the houses a bit of a distraction, and they take the sawmill into the present, whereas in "view 2" the photo is timeless - no visual cues of modernity. I also like that the water seems to dominate the other one. Not that I don't like this one, I just think that the other is a much more powerful shot; this one seems to be more of a snapshot (not that that's a bad thing...). cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
