I like the bottom one. I can't tell you why.
I like the offset V in version #1 tho.
Not sure if you want suggestions (apology in advance). Can you crop a very small amount from version #2 off the left side - just to offset the V a bit? (not as much as in version #1).
The textures are great, as are the colors. I think that is maybe why I am more drawn to version#2 - more of the orange/red/yellow in the corner.
I like the top version and would go with it so that the bottom leaf takes up 2/3 and the top area takes up 1/3 of the frame. Lovely crisp edge and the blue is gorgeous Ken!
Lovely colors and interesting contrast between the sharp and blurred areas. I like the various shades of blue. I would crop some off the top on number 1. Interesting how we all have different perferences.
