Help needed to chose between two Photos. (Chinook)

I have to chose one out of two Photos. I took, of a Chinook, for a future thread on PPRUNE.
I can not decide which has most impact etc.
Where better to ask than on Rotorheads forum
Please help me by Voting for which you think is the better.
"Head on" Photo. or the slightly "Head down" Photo.
With thanks every help and response.

OPF

Head down for me.

IMHO;
More blue sky
Lights not so sparkly
More movement in blades
Cockpit screens look better
Looks more head on than 'head on'
Just seeing the front wheels looks tidier

Easy!

Head down, because the rotors have motion in them. Any good helicopter shot can be ruined by frozen blades. I always make sure I have around 1/80th shutter speed in order to get about 15 degrees of rotor movement.

If the "head on" picture was more straight I would choose it, but as presented I have to say the 2nd picture, "nose down" is my choice.
I like to see the entire width of the rotor too- just my opinion.

I didn't know a Chinook could look so good. Nice photos. I voted nose down.
