Dariush & Guglielmo,
Viewing these images side-by-side in Photoshop, I find the comparison very interesting. The original image, as presented by the artist, Dariush, is very typical of his many almost monochrome interpretations. I like it very much, I respect his choice of tones, and quite understand why he might reject the revision as not representing what he saw or wished to portray. The gray is as I imagine these structures to be.
On the other hand, the revision by Guglielmo is, on my monitior, more colorful, with the green grass showing stronger and the structures having a brighter, but less stark (not gray) and more brown (brown-green) appearance. If I had seen only this image it would have been equally acceptable.
As an artistic interpretation, I must go with the creator of the image, Dariush, and his vision.
As far as technical representation of reality, perhaps Guglielmo has struck closer to the mark, but not having seen the subject, I cannot say.
