Oooohhhh! I really like these! I think the cherries work better. I am not certain if I like 1 or 2 best.

Cherries for me as well. I like #1!

I like #2 because it is free from the distraction of the side of the glass. Very nice!

Thanks for looking and commenting. I lean toward the cherries too. GP

Another vote for cherries....I like #1 better because of the various colors of red with the blue.

I like #1 because of the color of the cherries, the bubbles and composition (re 3 cherries and their stems). Great idea when it is so hot in many parts of the northern hemisphere! (#2 would be my second choice.)

Loving #1, but maybe just cropping a little off the left to lose some of the distraction. But the cherries and bubbles stand out nicely against the black and blue in that one!

I agree with Karin's suggestion re seeing what #1 looks like if you crop just a little from the left side.

Thanks everyone for your input and this points me in a direction at least! I appreciate your cropping suggestions. I wasn't sure about keeping the glass in to provide context but sounds like it may be better without. I have a series of these pics to work with so your guidance has been helpful. GP

I agree with the Karin - #1 love the colours and bubbles, but would be enhanced by removing the glass distraction at the left. Great pictures and love how you have got the bubbles.
