i was referring to the second picture, in which the flower to the left is cut off. preferably i would have kept the entire flower in the shot
I agree ... I think the whole flower would have added more to the completed look, but I LOVE the coloring in the photo.
I like the first pic. I like the composition of lines dividing up space. I find myself going around the pic looking into each cell. The second one, eh, I don't care for the coloring, agree with the crop comments. But I do like the arrangement, and the depth of field.
