    The first one is a lot of green for me. But the second one.....Is freakin awesome in my opinion. Color and texture really make it interesting. :B

    Both are lovely, but I am especially drawn to the 2nd one.

    I agree with everyone that #2 is beautiful, but for me, I love #1.
    In addition to the wonderful lines and balance in the frame (except of losing just the tip of the leaf in the upper left top of frame), I love how the OE bloomed the green and black. The black is soooo rich. I love it.
    Have you tried overcooking it with the effect to see what that would yield.

    Add another pick for #2... but I really like #1 almost as well. I'd agree that the green is a bit overpowering, but a reduction of the saturation and/or slight darkening of the hue might make this standout, too. Kudos on both!!!
