I’m not a photographer but I do have eyes. This version is so much better than the one you posted. The one you posted has such a blue filter on it that it loses all contrast and detail

No worries about the photographer thing! So there’s no filter per se here I actually left this one “as shot” in my editing app for white balance.
I liked it because (to me anyway) it felt kinda cinematic and conveyed that it was blue hour when I took the pic. Having said that I also really prefer this edit for Many of the reasons you stated.

Excuse my ignorance - what is blue hour? I guess you are playing on themes here that went right over my head lol. Either way, the reason I ask is because this is such a lovely shot (both versions) and I feel connected to it for some reason I can’t explain!

'blue hour' is the period of time just after the sunset, around dusk when the sky takes on inky, indigo hues and before it becomes totally black.
