I like the definition in the clouds and the sea.
I am partial to soft colors and love "A" - peaceful, meditative, captivating. Nice! Kari
i like the bold colors
Both nice, but...I think the eye moves around "Stormy Day..." better. "Ships at Anchor" has a great sky, but the land at the bottom, keeps pulling my eye down to look at it and I think the feature here should be the ships and the feather clouds in the sky.
Difficult choice this week - I have seen A in real life so I know how good it is. This photo doesn't do it justice! The blues in B remind me of the sun, now gone. Will it get the nostaliga vote? Nope, A is my choice.
I think you could create a psychological profile on someone by looking at their voting pattern. I always chose the more linear well defined painting, no soft edges, blurred lines etc
I can't decide. The one I liked first was A, but that may be only because I saw it first. Can I have both?
Wauw... what interesting format. I love A because of its composition, clouds and sea in a beautiful line with each other and the coast line in between. Very pleasing in form and colors (subtle blue with brown). B is more straight and clear. Colors bright. Again female and male contradict. I choose the female although the titles would indicate otherwise, safety(anchor)opposed to stormy (unsafe). In this case the "unsafe" has my preference.

Choice A has more motion; B seems a bit static to me.
Connie really liked A.
Choice A caught my eye right away, I like the sloping dunes into the sea.
I like the composition in A but the colors in B. Hard to make a choice.
B evokes a peaceful, serene day, while A suggests more troubled weather. The colors in B give more contrast and put the viewer at ease. A, because it is more dynamic, seems to prompt the viewer for action. B offers the security of seeing the sea from the land. Though land is within reach in A, unknown danger may still lurk.
By my count, you are on cloud 9, mist her. FatJimmie
In Stormy day the clouds and the sea are very static and stiff; it isn't stormy at all..... Ships at anchor is strong in it's simplicity altough I think that the blue is a litlle bit artificial.When I see this I must think of a very sunny and quiet summerday at the beach and I do like sunny summerdays at the beach!

I vote "A" for cool-looking clouds and water. And, the horizon seems too sharp somehow in "B".
B - Crisp, vivid
