I have been asked to take a picture of a purple flower to hang on my Girlfriend's bedroom wall, there is only space for one picture, which one is best and why?
Purple Flower 1, although nice ... to my eyes and in my humble opinion, is a bit too amorphous.
Without the benefit of having the bloom's central portion more in focus and from a better perspective ... might have been tempted to really go full blown abstract, by perhaps softening the entire image with a diffuse glow/filter. Or, blurring it some more. Something akin to that.
The colour palette in each is indeed quite eye-catching. Just maybe a tad too contrasty in the 1, as well.
"There is always something waiting at the end of the road ... if you're not willing to see what it is ... you probably shouldn't be out there in the first place."

For in and out, above, about, below,
'Tis nothing but a Magic Shadow-show,
Play'd in a Box whose Candle is the Sun,
Round which we Phantom Figures come and go.

Purple Flower 2.
