if i had seen the darker version first, i probably wouldn't have been able to decipher the image. now, looking at both, the darker image packs slightly more punch in the emotive department, but-- hell, they're both *smashing*. love the detail, the style, the masterful use of light and dark, all of it. usually i find text in artwork distracting and unnecessary, but the words you use really help clarify the theme. great stuff.
