I'm not sure that I understand the question. Which one will produce the better result? That would probably depend on the type of printer. Which one would look nicer on your wall? Again that would seem to depend on the output device. It would also depend on whether you had access to the raw data files. Image 2 seems to lose too much detail in the shadows, but what's on the screen ain't necessarily what's on the page.

Just think of it as a "which is better" question.

The reason these two are being compared is because the guy wants to print one, but is unable to decide which to print.

I'd choose the first if for no other reason than in the second the image would be very difficult to print. If you lighten the image to see the bottom of the photo, you'll wash out the top and vice versa to keep the top the bottom will be too dark. The first image has a better exposure balance and composition. Of course, that's just my opinion and that and another $1.50 might buy you a cup of coffee.

In my honest opinion, neither. If it has to be one, then the top image because it has more contrast and tones.

I think the first one. But with one adjustment. I just tried to convert it in b/w with contrast a bit increased in curves. And it looks great. I don't know if you allow to edit your photos, so I won't post it. But if you try, I think you'll print it )) To convert I used a method with Channel Mixer in Photoshop. But here are 9 Ways To Convert Your Image Into B&W
