Which is better, the first or second?
What would you choose

I am trying to find something in the backyard,
There's always something going on, I just have to be patient be.

I use here my Sony NEX-5T and my 55-210 Sony lens

Beautiful pics. Second is better imo :)

Thank you!! I still have not decided yet :))

They both look nice. I like the way the flower looks in the second one.

Thank you!! I think it's hard to choose :)

So I have been taking photos for a couple of weeks and I hope I can take photos as nice as these look. Mine are just ameture.

Thank you!! As long as you try, you will get later or sooner what you want.
Just keep going and keep track of what you do every day and learn from it.

Thank you! I am trying and I'm thinking about taking an online course.

Cool... How this online course looks like ?

I haven't chosen one yet and I will let you know which one I decide to take.

You go and look this too @mikej

Second. But howcome it's in colour? :)

Thank you!! I just try Something new... Every new thing teaches me something :)

Good :) Looking for ward to see more then.

Just We have to be patient be :)

I will be patient :)

i prefer the 1st one because i like the amount of positive and negative space left in between.

Thank you!! I like how you see it :)

Guess I will be the odd one out here, but I like the first.

Thank you!! But me.. But I still have not decided :))

are you alright?! where's all that color coming from all of a sudden? hehe

I prefer the second one... less busy... and the falling angle of the first one feels off!

Thank you!! And yes I am alright :)) I try all :)) An I like what you choose :))

The second it's a little more symmetrical and I like the background colours.

Thank you!! I like what you choose :)

Thank you!! you are kind :)

oh goodness i love them both very good. ummmm if i had to pick one for my mood in the now I would say the bottom one, the shadow behind it more seems more hopeful im not sure why. great work

Thank you!! I like how you see it :) And me .. I still have not decided yet :))

Thank you!! I am happy that you make time and look :)

I prefer the second one. The contrast between the flower and the darker background makes it pop

Thank you!! Yes you are right :) But I, I still have not decided yet :)) it is hard :))

i would go for 1st one the yellow background suits the spring better, since Crocus flowers are suppose to flower in early spring / late winter

Thank you!! I am happy how you see it :) Yes they are in early spring :)

Both are very good but I like second one.

And me I still have not decided yet :))

The second photograph brings out the detail more as the background is darker.
The first one has warmth with the lighter shadow and the red of the pollen in front.

Thank you!! I like how you see it :) It is hard decided :))

Thank you!! I like how you see it :)

super shot
I like the second one, black background is making color pop alot
but its a very difficult task to choose from these two hehehe

Thank you!! you are very kind :) And yes it is very difficult... And me I still have not decided yet :))

Ooooo thats a really tricky question -- I love the yellow in the first.

I was originally going to go with first, however the more i Look the more im moving towards the second - The second has a sinister vibe to it, the reds and blacks really convey a mood where the first just looks like a nice picture.

Yes it is tricky question :)) I still have not decided yet :)) but I hope I get here help :))

I would chose the first one.

Thank you!! I like what you chose :))

The first, it gives me more to think about.

Thank you!! I find it hard to choose :))
