Post your best Landscape...

Apologies for posting the same pic twice but I got Adobe Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS6 running on the Macbook Pro last night. Aperture didn't give me any warm and fuzzy feelings in it's ability as an image editor so I've gone back to Adobe - I'm much happier.

So I got the same pic out and had another go at an edit - I must say I'm out of practice in the editing department. Has been far too long. Anyway here's the new edit:

Here's the old one for reference:

So which one do you guys like better? I feel like I've blown out the highlights in the yellow a bit too much in the new edit and need to bump up the saturation slightly in the reds/oranges as well because in all honestly it's probably less vibrant in this pic than it was in real life.

Thanks for looking! Ben.

New is better than old. Nice job! I like the colors better.
