I would crop the sides and darken the background.

Good find !

Kostas, the little flower sure is neat but it's really getting lost in all that darkness IMO. The composition leaves my eye going right down the flower and right out of the frame. :( Maybe a closer crop and the flower on more of an angle would help?

2nd version

I like the idea but I find the background to noisy in the first version.
The 2nd version works much better for me. The only thing that I find a little distracting the leave that crosses the green stem in the middle.

Hey Kostas, how's it going. Nice contrast from the main subject and the BG. I agree on the first being a tad busy in the BG, but really like the mood in the lighting of the second version, cleaned up nice. Well done.
