    ; I shot this phot of Space Mountain from the pathway to (the NEW) Fantasyland & really like this shot.

    Here, I ran it through PhotoTools 2.0 Pro (added Glow, Vignette & Warming). Which do you think is better?

    In my opinion, Space Mountain pops a little more against the darker background of the second photo.

    Tough call - I agree with Red that it pops out a bit more, and I like the deeper contrast lines in the roof - but I don't quite like the dark 'halo' in the sky surrounding the mountain, which makes it look a wee bit too processed. ; Neither is bad, but I'd lean towards the original - maybe just processing it for a touch more contrast to get the roof definition back.

    I vote the 1st one. Im not too sure I like the warming in the second shot.

    It never occurred to me to walk that path at night. Add that to my to do list. I prefer the first version, mainly because of the warming and vignetting. If it were me, I'd try to make the whites whiter (isn't that a commercial?) and the sky darker.

    ; Thanks for the input guys. I agree on the first one too as noted in my original comments, but I also agree with Red & Justin about the contrast of the second. I think I can accomplish the best of both by removing the warming effect but leaving the glow & bumping up the vignette effect. Will give that a try as soon as I get a chance.
    ; Would love to have seen this with one of the trains in front of it.
