Which of these views seems to better show the blossom / stem separation from the background?

Or is there no apparent difference from one to the other?
(I only ask because to my used and worn eyes, one seems to do better than the other at giving a sense of separation. Made me curious if it's just a strangeness of my sight processor, or if some others may also see a perceived difference. Thanks.)
Photo was taken with Motorola E6.
Natural daylight under clearing, low overcast sky, after light rain showers.
F2, 1/90 sec.,. ISO 211. .... according to camera-recorded info in image file.
Processing done in Snapseed to reduce very bright highlights in background vegetation that were produced by the bright, overcast, thinning cloud cover.

UTMike and NMGal thank you for commenting.
Now, here is an interesting result of having posted this on UHH:
--- on the UHH site, the pic which appears to me to better show separation is the second, as you each confirmed.
Looking at the stored images in the tablet in hand, however, the first appears to better show the separation.
There must be something more than used eyes which is influential in this..... something in digital processing devices.
It kind of stands to reason that the first pic should be less accurate, since the second one is the original / as shot version. There must be a fractional degredation of quality, it would seem, to open, mirror-flip and re-save the original version jpeg.
That is why I questioned the function of my eyes and sight processing system to start with, that the jpeg which has one additional step of change (the mirror image flip) is the one which looks better in the tablet, directly out of the processing app.
(My crude job of reducing background highlights is unchanged between the two pics, so that should not be an influence.)
