Both are blown out a lot. This is one of the hardest colors for a digital camera to get right. You just need to keep shooting and play with your settings. You can get them right. But with every different lighting you run into. you will still have to play again. Erv
I like #1 with the background darker and the composition. I think it's fun to mess with images like this and see what you can do. I'm not sure how it would print but would be fun to see.
