Tried shining a flashlight on it, I think I like this one better.:)

Both work for me though if I had to make a choice, I'd choose the second one due to the more vibrant colors. Nicely done.

It's pretty close but the flashlight seems to bring out the gold more don't you think? Nicely done, Jackie! I like the angle of the flower coming into the frame and the high key background.

Jackie, I like the second one also. The high-key BG and comp. are very nice.

Yes I like the second one too. Never realized there was that much gold til I brought out the flashlight. Thanks for the comments.

Very nicely composed, Jackie, I like the second one also because of the vibrant colors.

Lovely. The composition caught my eye right away--love its simplicity. I also like the white BG, though I would like to see it a bit whiter (which is difficult to achieve). Beautiful bud. I do think I prefer the second one, but only slightly.
