I Like them both about the same. Hey, is that a big ol' bokeh circle in th background? ;-)

I prefer this crop to the other one..there is more drama with this one.. the flower just seems to pop a bit more.. and i'm not sure why.. but i'll figure it out ;)

Personally I think this crop is much better. The part circle framing the flower really looks good.

Yeah, it's probably a better crop, but I think the other one has more funk, in particular because of that shadow to the right and below the flower - it sort of gives the circle a lot of volume. You lost the shadow in this crop. You got the extra stem, great addition. I wonder - have you tried the first one with a bit more space to the left (like the extra space you included in this one, but all the way to the bottom of the circle?). I'm just wondering how that would look. Love how the stem goes all googly on you in this second crop.

I love this shot...and I prefer this crop as well. How did you make the circle of light? It's beautiful.

Sweet - love the cicle around it. I also think the softness of the petals and stem work very nicely in contrast with the sharp focus of the center of the flower - this is just cool!!
