Both shots have been well taken. The difference is in the viewpoint and then the viewer's preferences come later. Seems to me one is "fact" and the other is "Art." Keep 'em coming. Mike.
I will follow the herd, the first one is the best! To me, the second one shows a little blowout on the white areas of the flower. It is hard to take it when the colors are so different and not have blowout. Swede
