Which one do you like better?

This tree is located in my neighborhood. Most days it honestly gives me the willies. Like I can hear all the trees screaming when they are cut down now that I have put a face to it. LOL. Which photo gives you that "off" feeling?

I prefer the second. Neither put me off but I like the contrast in the second better.

The second one for sure. The contrast is so much better, so the subject is more pronounced. Cute tree.

2nd one for me too.

Throw another vote in for the high contrast; it really helps the tree to stand out from the background.

For sure the second does it for me, contrast shows much more detail even in the detail of the building behind the tree!! Cool tree, looks like fun!:)
