The bottom one - colours and shadows are better.

I like the second Lily of the Nile the best. Tried growing them but the deer liked them to much. So I just enjoyed them at work. LOL

Thanks to each and every one of you for taking the time to look at and comment on these shots. I do appreciate it. There's a lesson in here somewhere...now I just have to find it.

I like the flower slightly better in the first one, but 2nd pic is overall preference due to background being less distracting and a better color. The first one is good, but left me wondering what that was in the background b/c there appear to be some swirly areas.
