Mmm, Figs! Which crop is the better photo and why?

I like that the fly seems to be saying, "Wow, I hit the jackpot here!" So does the first one, that shows the whole cluster of fruit, make that statement better than the second, more intimate one? Any other comments, critiques welcome.

I like the fig better than the fly. That said i'm not sure which is 'better'. If I wanted the fly I might have cropped even closer, if the fig I would have gone 'shu fly don't bother me'.

I prefer the top one, Chris. I like the way the green stem extends to the bottom of the photo, although it's just a little too centered, IMO. If this were printed to 8X I would probably cut about 1/2" off from the left side. Just my thoughts...

For me No.1, its a more complete picture and offers both subjects fully, Good picture Chris,

I like the 1st one better & it still shows enough detail of the fly. However, if the 1st one is cropped some, I would include the top tip of the back fig that is slightly out-of-focus. Even though it is OOF, I think it would complete the picture.
