Glenelg - Any difference ?

I've a lot of 'noisy' images from dull flat days which I'm trying to rescue so have posted two versions of the same shot just to see if there's any visible difference ?

As for the shot - It's two stitched images looking back over to the village of Glenelg from Skye with the hills of Kintail behind.

First one is sharper here Phil - would need to see bigger to judge noise levels really.

I can see a teeny tiny difference in the details of the water - but barely noticeable.

Would say there is a sizeable improvement in the sky of 1 far more detail, and there seems more "mood" and more general detail in the first one too but I can't say why because I don't know why.

Second one for me Phil, better colours and far less noise (on my monitor anyway).

Splitting hairs.but tend to agree with Jeff.
Here's another perspective of Glenelg. There is a quite spectacular war memorial for such a small place. Memorable also for the iron age Brochs just down the road.

You could always try HDR if you like that sort of thing....

Cheers folks

I've not tried to do anything yet PP wise to improve this shot yet.

With quite a few dull noisy images though - I just picked one at random to see how a particular noise reduction setting showed up when posted on here.

For the record - the first was just as it was and the second had been through a simple noise reduction step.

NikoSnap - Thanks for the edit - By the way the Brochs are right by where we stay - the cottage is where the road branches and you can go either go left to the Brochs or take the road to Arnisdale. I might have some of the memorial too although I've not been through them all yet.

I prefer the second one.

The first one looks the sharpest on my screen Phil.
