Nikon D80, f/4.5, shutter speed 1/80s, ISO 1000, lens 18-70mm @ 60mm.

Can you tell the difference between the too pictures?

They are the same pictures just edited slightly differently. I'm just experimenting a little to find my favourite format for posting pictures on this blog. I think in the top pictures the colours are a little more vibrant, but the the bottom picture has more realistic colour. What do you think?
