Which one of these is your choice? If you have the time, I would appreciate your reasons.

I think that downloads show the shot the best.

I like #1 better….it fills the frame with an interesting subject. #2 has more distractions.

I think #1 is the better of the two. I would like to see a little more space between the end of the plant and the edge of the frame. JUST MY OPINION!

In #2 the background stuff could be classified as either distractions or context. I think that the blossoms benefit from having a bit of space round them and I would be inclined to classify the background stuff as context which I don't find distracting. I don't see a plain background as being ideal.

#1, for previously stated reasons. I wonder how it would work if rotated to place the tip of the stem in the upper left to create converging diagonals?

I do appreciate the thumbs up, Bill. I assume it is for the revised post.

I prefer the second shot. It give a bit more of its surroundings. Perhaps a touch of darkening the background. I like in your redo of #1 you gave it some more room on the edges.

I prefer the first because it is a tighter crop and therefore shows more detail.

This one I like. I would however do a flip so that the buds tail off on the rt side. I base this on the Western-Euro Left to right reading.

Mine, too. A tiny bit more space on the left. FWIW
