Ooooooooh ... number two. I like it. All that fine and backlighted detail. I'd burn in the background a bit for greater separation.

Love all that tonal detail in the background but agree with Gary A. -- although I'd burn the background on both a bit, make the subject stand out even more.

Nice photo and if this was out in the woods nice find too.
