Same location, two different pictures

APS-C camera


Phone camera
Two pictures at the same location.
The top picture taken with an aps-c sensor camera, as can be seen with a much shallower depth of field at F2.0.  I used the much whiter florescent light from the shop on the left to emphasize on the yellowish street light, and putting it in focus to create the dreamy effect of the street at night.
The bottom picture taken with the only thing I had with me -- the phone.  It's not a slouch, it's the Nokia 1520.  I composed, out of my memory, with the same viewpoint of my previous picture, but I had no control over the exposure parameters, but there isn't much point anyway. However, I post-process this file much more heavy-handedly than the previous one.
The bottom line.... I believe either picture has its own appeal, and I like them both.
