Flipped Grass Blur

I flipped this image of a grass blur. Can't decide which crop I like best? Please let me know your thoughts.:)

Or this one?

I like both versions very much but had to try a square crop just to see. For me the visual impact is in the big "X" so I used it as the main area and cropped away from the top. It's not necessarily better and some might find it too "centered" but I kind of liked it.

Very cool graphic design in this one, Denise!

Thanks Jules, The only thing I'm not crazy about is where it ends on the URC-that line just feels off to me.:)

I like the second one better, Denise. I think it's the diagonal line that extends to the upper right corner that makes it more pleasing to me as a composition. Beautiful palette of greens.

Like the first Denise, maybe because we read from left to right??? Anyways beautiful soft colours, and like it as presented.

Crazy how everyone has different opinions.:) Jackie, I like the first one better but wasn't sure why-maybe you answered that question.:)

I prefer the second one--left to right. Great image. I am bowled over by the creativity I'm seeing in this week's challenge.

#2 for me Denise - dont know why - but then Ive been known to start reading books from the back as well - LOL.
:)

Well, I like the first one better! I believe that the lower left to upper right motion is more visually compelling. I agree with you about the crop. You could rotate the image about the LLC and move that line a bit out of the corner while keeping the other one where it is, if that makes any sense! :) I like Jules' crop too...
