The unaltered version.
I once thought that Photography had to be utterly pure, natural light, no filters, no flash, taken on manual settings etc. just completely natural. Of course that is all very important. However, it seems important as well to have a second look at the way we could have taken the shot, of how we could otherwise have interpreted what was before our eyes. When I took these shots it was very dark and I was already forcing the camera to take in more than was visible to my eye. And even though I know the landscape, I wanted to keep it dark, to convey the silence and seclusion that is sometimes Monhegan Island.
