safe haven for tiny formats

I need input on two subtly different versions of an image.

Version A



Version B



Which do you prefer? Please only respond if you're viewing on a calibrated monitor.

Version A

I see a very minor difference. The 2nd one looks a little warmer and slightly lighter, but since it is mainly shadow, I think it needs to be cooler and darker. The first one is better (but still looks a little red and maybe a bit too light).

Randy/Peter thanks. Here's a Version C with the mid-tones set slightly cooler.

OK, I'll go with 3, I love the tree, I do not like the grass, especially the very near foreground. It distracts.

This is the only land in Indiana that is held by the Miami Indians in Miami county... This is called, Seven Pillars of Peru. In years past the Miami Indians often held council meetings and other activities within these isolated rooms. At one time even a trading post was located here. Torture of enemies,celebrations,and education of Miami braves were also held here. This is a stitch of 5 vertical shots made with a Nikon d5000 and a 50mm lens

Randy, I just re-read the last couple of pages to be sure.
I've been using TLR's since '81, and Mamiya 330's have been my main cameras since '95. If you want to shoot street stuff go with the 55 and HP5 or TriX and just forget parallax. Get in close. The cameras are near enough silent, you can check the finder with a glance.
Parallax is MORE of a problem as soon as you go 135 or longer. Get a left grip for the camera (the ones for the RB cameras also fit, I believe).
The very biggest problem these days is people really notice these brick size cameras. All you can do is turn it to your advantage- the camera itself sometimes becomes the intro to a conversation and photo!
