I couldn't decide which one to use looking back, the cooler one was taken later on (albeit minutes) and is wider, which I prefer, but the colours of the first one match the set more and compliment the others. Any thoughts?


Cheers

This is not really important!
… as long as one stays within natural colour spectrum
tonalities, the image will not lose any credibility so you
may play with the WB. Any of these is very acceptable.

OTH, I have some concern about this stone path…
isn't it a tad too light? I did not see the scene but I have
a hard time convincing me that this is "as is".

Thanks again for the comments Kodiak, much appreciated.

I used out of the camera WB as it was light enough at the time and messing around did little as far as I was concerned to really improve the shot (I played with it). However they do vary 5350 compared to 5900. The cooler one I de/un saturated quite heavily which due to the sky (even though as shot) looking almost unnatural, whereas the warmer I left alone.

Here they are exported to jpeg straight from raw with no corrections.

So the stones were really so light!
Ok, as I said, I did not see the scenes.
 
At the very front it's a lot of cement/mortar which would explain the lightness. But I was also so surprised when taking all these images (even some of the Afternoon ones) off the camera. I don't care that it isn't metal, doesn't weigh 1kg and the barrel extends when zooming. My 10-24 is definitely the best money I have spent in the last 2 years (with regards to camera gear :p) I mean you can point it at the sun and laugh in the face of flare :p. haha. It might not be the 14-24 2.8 but its a pretty good runner up from the Nikkor line up especially for DX (15-36 equivelent) and it takes filters :p

Cheers again Kodiak for the feedback!

This is one known issue where our gear handles flares
better then the other… can't remember the name… ;-)
 
Too much shadow recovery in the foreground / LHS on the first image too.
The ground is too light given the fact that the sun has set.
