Not to jump on the ruddy flash when he's having his photo taken

Took the first with just ambient light in my room (dim) and then used my sunpak flash in the second for a bit more light.
Not quite shore which I like more -- so any thoughts?

I like the flashed on far better, the grasshopper does not look like a problem in that one because one can see exactly what it is.

Def like the first 2nd one. Reminds me of some booz advert.

Nice pix


Kinda like the first one more, looks like it's part of the logo.

I actually liked them both the first one gave it a old rusted look and the second one gave it a new crisp look

Thanks for the iput all - glad that its not just me that is finding it tricky to decide which is the better. I do agree the insect has more clarity inthe second - I might try to play around with the RAWs and emulate the effect of the first in the second shot - a bit more clarity with the older age touch.
