Easy choice for me.. this one. The first version is nice, it's pleasant, but doesn't jump out at me. This one does. Great lighting, and the contrasts work really well here. Very well done.
Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.
I loved the first shot...but this one is.....WOW! Absolutely love how it glows against the blurred dark background....once again...a very fine job!

It would most definitely be this one over the other version. Love the lighting on the flowers & they contrast so nicely with the background. Excellent work Roland.
They are both beautiful, but after seeing the first and now this...I definitely prefer this one! Mostly due to the lighting seen through the flower's petals which contrast so beautifully against the dark background. Wonderful work on these!
Not only the lighting on this shot, but I love the bud.! It makes the whole thing become more important. It would be pretty even without it, but with it its fantastic!! Verena
