    I've been going back and forth about how to crop this so I'm posting both versions and would like opinions about which one works better.

    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.

    Nice details and beautiful color! I like more the second image, composition looks better to me.

    Ken, this has a beautiful saturated blue, and I really like the edge detail. I prefer the crop in version 2.:)

    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!

    Like the contrast of sharp and soft and composition.

    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.
