Interesting how the backdrop changes the whole feel of the subject

Interesting to see which people prefer.

I prefer the green background in this case, I guess because the knotweed looks a little weedy. Good stuff, and an interesting comparison.

Lovely! I'm with Ron. In the first one, the contrast on the flowers is higher, with some washed-out lights and stronger saturation. The muted light of the second one is more appealing to me. And it will work better for people whose browsers will display it in the monitor's gamut because of the absence of a profile. That will amp up the colors even more for wide-gamut monitors.

I'd probably remove the small piece at the bottom, or include more of it if you have it.

No prizes for guessing which I prefer! I think I would desaturate the greens a little - I suspect it is the yellow component.
