Which image grabs you?

[Ozzie_Traveller]

G'day all ... I am playing with contrast mainly and wonder which (if any) image grabs you ... and if -neither- then you can admit to that also
The subject is an almost derelict barn and I thought to try to make it look - I dunno !

1)-


2)-


As always, feedback welcome

Probably the 1st. But not by much....

A little more detail there,....

I prefer #2 Phil as I think the stronger contrast brings out the texture and gives it a little more impact. #1 has a softer feel that doesn't suit the image as well in my opinion.

OK then I think somewhere in between, I dont think the first went far enough and the next too far.
