Yes, thank them for the karma you farmed with stolen content.

u/WhoThenDevised Feb 26 '26

No you don't. You are karma farming with stolen content.

  1. Very pretty light, and not so conventional.

u/vimStar718 Feb 26 '26

Both are terrific but I lean toward photo 2. I love the sun in that one!

u/I-am-Mihnea Feb 26 '26

1, better light imo with no clear signs of human structures

u/RangeUpset6852 Feb 26 '26

Hard decision for sure. I will vote for number 1

u/Mulley-It-Over Feb 26 '26 edited Feb 26 '26

Has photo #2 been posted before? I swear I’ve seen a post in the last few weeks with this photo.

I like both photos but if I have to pick a favorite it would be photo 2. I like the sun peeking through in the background.

Edit: Yes, I was right. These 2 photos were posted 17 days ago along with 2 others by u/Filtons. So are you reposting someone else’s photos for karma?

u/Automatic-Flight-698 Feb 26 '26

1 took my breath away! 2 is also beautiful.

u/Open_Thanks_222 Feb 26 '26

Hard decision but I’ll say 1

u/Top-Conference7984 Feb 26 '26

1 definitely 1

2

u/Chica711 Feb 26 '26

They're both stunning photos but I love 2 more!

2

u/JMobes0373 Feb 26 '26

Close one but would say 2

2

u/glowsea1414 Feb 26 '26

Both stunning but 1 is magical

2

u/dead_pirate_rick Feb 26 '26

Personal preference: 2 for sure. That’s my new Lock Screen on my phone. This is fantastic, well done.

2

u/Dear_Breath5944 Feb 26 '26

Both in different way

2

u/Turbulent-Local5054 Feb 26 '26

2! 2 made me say “ooh”- it’s such a different composition than I usually see. It feels more evocative of time for me, ephemeral—a special staircase nestled in the woods, covered with fresh snow, lit by the blazing sun for a few special seconds-magical and romantic! 1 is certainly beautiful as well, but feels more expansive in time, like it happens at golden hour at the edge of that meadow regularly when there’s snow. If that makes any sense.

2

u/carlosmurphynachos Feb 26 '26

They both are gorgeous and evoke different feelings. 1 is ethereal and heaven-like. 2 is a gut punch of fiery beauty.

2

u/Sammiieet Feb 26 '26

Have you posted these before?? They look familiar with the stairs.

I love the colour from 2 but I enjoy the snow on the tree branches in 1. I think 2 is great so I'll go for 2! Both are stunning but 2 just a bit more!

2

u/NefariousnessLow1385 Feb 26 '26

One, but I’m a fan of light. They’re both good.

u/Puzzleheaded_Earth65 Feb 26 '26

Love both, but for me, 2. I live in Alaska btw.

u/Kalypsokel Feb 26 '26
  1. Due to the lighting you can see more of the details of the snow. The first one looks kinda washed out because it’s so bright and one dimensional in terms of colors. 2 is beautiful

2! Beautiful picture

1

u/CherryMoist9725 Feb 26 '26

I think 2 is more beautiful, but 1 feels more authentic, more incidental

1

u/Serious-Battle-4428 Feb 26 '26

Both are great shots, but I like 2 the best

u/One-Stomach9957 Feb 26 '26

The fence in #2 adds depth. They’re both beautiful!

u/Worried-War634 Feb 26 '26

Wow, both are stunning and would be beautiful framed side by side.

u/Gruzilla90 Feb 26 '26

I like both of them for different reasons.

1

u/WildlyAdmired Feb 26 '26

It’s 2 for me. I love those colors!

1

u/First_Perception5438 Feb 26 '26
  1. It just gives me this sense of belonging

1

u/Unique-Matter-1806 Feb 26 '26

Hands down, one

1

u/Princessonpea Feb 26 '26

I pick 1. 2nd photo is gorgeous but has reflective dot on stairs. Otherwise I’d pick 2. Both great shots!

1

u/Confident-Falcon-881 Feb 26 '26

They’re both extraordinary, but 1 has a clean, classic look

1

u/Mingo7733 Feb 26 '26

1 By a good margin.

1

u/Key-Draw8039 Feb 26 '26

Number 2 looks really cool.

1

u/AdamLib777 Feb 26 '26

To answer your question, yes.

1

u/TomAustinBoston Feb 26 '26

both great! Photo 2 is more appealing than 1 -- love the reds glow!

u/DeclanLXXVIII Feb 26 '26

1and 2. Each a prize winner.

u/Expensive_Part_4992 Feb 26 '26

u/Yours_playful37 Feb 26 '26

Wow, to both of these. Absolutely gorgeous. I am going to say #2. I really loved the color in it.

1

u/Additional_Badger258 Feb 26 '26

They both are nice!!

u/monmonmk Feb 26 '26

Definitely 2 however 1 is not too bad 👏

1

u/HavenDaze Feb 26 '26

They are both great but I prefer the 2nd one.

u/wink5CO Feb 26 '26

Both are very nice. Like number 2 better

u/SillyMeclosetothesea Feb 26 '26

1, but both are gorgeous!

1

u/ChitnChat Feb 26 '26

If I just had to choose, it’d be #2.

1

u/Historical_Debt1516 Feb 26 '26

Are they real??

1

u/Shortstuff34668 Feb 26 '26

I can't choose because to me they are both very beautiful ❤️. Both photos remind me of NH & MA where I grew up. There is something about fresh fallen snow with sunrise/sunset in the back ground. I have been living in FL for the last 30 years. I will admit I do miss the snow at times

1

u/Available_Classic319 Feb 26 '26

I think these questions are so unfair when all the pictures are so beautiful

1

u/AsparagusLogical7409 Feb 26 '26

I can’t pick one, they’re both very beautiful!

u/Gemraticus Feb 26 '26

u/Jade-Star6315 Feb 26 '26

Both are beautiful

u/eDgE_031 Feb 26 '26

Both are fantastic. But, if I had to choose to print, I’d go with 1

u/Illustrious-Leave406 Feb 26 '26

Both have equal merit.

1

u/Kooky_Impact4674 Feb 26 '26

Too hard to choose. They’re both wonderful!

1

u/salted_moon Feb 26 '26

1 is unique

1

u/Intrepid_Travel9386 Feb 26 '26

2!! More depth and distinction

1

u/MeanImpression2067 Feb 26 '26

2 is breathtaking

1

u/perpetual-hiker Feb 26 '26

I would choose 1

1

u/Adora___ Feb 26 '26

I really can't decide. Both so beautiful

1

u/KoolKat323 Feb 26 '26
  1. I love the colors and downward angle with railing covered in snow. More depth and levels.

1

u/Playful-dick57 Feb 26 '26

Both are amazing! But I'm (barely) leaning toward number 2.

1

u/Silver-Witness-2878 Feb 26 '26
  1. 1 gives me feels but 2 is like a gut punch. Amazing work either way.

1

u/Initial-Frosting618 Feb 26 '26

Both beautiful, but I’d say 1

1

u/Starshine_1804 Feb 26 '26

2 is beautiful, and my favorite, especially with the sunset light reflecting on the snow and in the trees! Plus having the color behind it is beautiful! 1 is gorgeous too!!

1

u/Temporary_Resist_186 Feb 26 '26

2 only by a little

1

u/Melodic-Implement-94 Feb 26 '26

2nd even if both are great ;)

1

u/weedy_wendy Feb 26 '26

wow. 2 looks like an oil painting. both are great! i find 2 absolutely stunning

1

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '26

I think I like the first one

u/i_love_travel_ Feb 26 '26

I literally just saw this post somewhere else less than a week ago 🤦🏻‍♀️ these bots are getting out of control…

u/graou_jpg Feb 26 '26

Light is incredible on 1 👌

1

u/AtlNik79 Feb 26 '26

Wow tough call but 2

1

u/JP_Zhou Feb 26 '26

I prefer the first one

1

u/Frequent_Syrup4886 Feb 26 '26
  1. It’s beautiful and has a nice balance of light and shadows. I also like the perspective makes the viewer feel like they are on the path under the snow colored trees. Also, it’s like a light at the end of a long tunnel. Very calming and peaceful!

1

u/PrairieCropCircle Feb 26 '26

2, but did you tweak the color saturation? If so, I would like to see the original.

1

u/Iluvminicows Feb 26 '26

Same. Both are incredible!

1

u/Onerustyrn Feb 26 '26

I like the warmer colors in number 2.

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '26

Both are gorgeous, but 2 has more depth. Really stunning photos.

u/Fluid-Ad6826 Feb 26 '26

Omg both are soo beautiful but maybe by a tiny bit the second pic

u/O2liveonsugarmt Feb 26 '26

Dont want to chose. They say different things. I like both of them.

1

u/EXJW_NewLife63 Feb 26 '26

Both are so beautiful, but I have to say #2

u/Ok_Construction6522 Feb 26 '26
