First one for me. Seems slighter brighter, with a tad more orange highlighting to the flower. I'd be happy with any of them, myself, kind of a taster's choice. Nice shot!

i agree.

Pierre H.J. Dumais Loc: Mississippi Mills, Ont.

I'll go with No. 3.
The darker BG makes the flower stand out more.

Thanks for weighing in Randy. I am not sure which one I like which is why I have asked for other views. If duplicate or similar photos exist in my files, usually only one is kept. 8-)

Thanks for opining Jaedmundi. Photo #1 was how I originally post processed the image prior to creating the additional variations. 8-)

Linda From Maine Loc: Yakima, Washington

I think I prefer the slightly more subtle #2. A gorgeous image, Bmac!

Sirius_one Loc: S.F. Bay Area

#3 for me.

I think I will go with #2, but all versions are very nice.

All are good but I like #3. Can't really put my finger on why, but it's more appealing to me. I think maybe the darker background brings the flower out more.

I'm guessing #2 might be more 'real' looking. It's my choice.
