Richard, I like the upright orientation and contrast of the stock piece against the blue sky here. I like how the vertical lines of the ukulele "break" the horizontal lines of the landscape. (*) On the other one, though, I like the excellent lighting/exposure on the ukulele body itself, the "moody" sky, and the longer/distant view of beach & surf. In other words, can't decide easily...if forced, might pick the first one :) MFC
