Beautiful capture.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

I prefer this one just a little

[Kathy A]

I prefer this one, the colours pop a bit more

[Yao RL]

I like this one, more subtle.

[Tia]

I like this one as you don’t notice the light source as much

[Rob Z]

I like this one for fact that it tends to make you focus on the individual components.

[Susan Wakely]

Hard to choose but I think that I prefer this one.

[Joan Robillard]

This one

[Babs]

This one definitely because the white circle on the top right of the other one is a bit distracting fav

[Beryl Lloyd]

Good points to this one , but seeing both I prefer the other one !

[Wylie]

@tiaj1402 Just when I was thinking I should take the light out of the shot, someone else says they like it! What a range of responses!
@onewing as above, others thought the light was the best! Maybe I should still try what it looks like with the light gone.

[Babs]

@pusspup yes give it a go with the light out on the dark version and we can all see what it turns out like. I did like the darker version but found the light in the background distracting. I do love your composite pictures. You are so creative

[Mags]

A lovely arrangement!

[Zilli~]

Casting my vote for this one!

[Merrelyn]

I prefer this one. The light at the top of the other image draws my eye away from the subject.

[Agnes]

I prefeer the dark one

[Bill Davidson]

I feel that the floral arrangement stands out better in this one

[Allison Maltese]

I like this lighter version. I can see the detail of the flowers and birds more readily.

[LManning (Laura)]

I think I prefer this one, where the background is less distracting. They are both great though!

[Tunia McClure]

I have changed my mind several times but I think I like this one.

[Kathy]

This is very pretty with the lovely shadows. The spotlights are not so noticeable but the subject isn't as rich.

[haskar]

I prefer this one. The background is softer and less literal. It leaves more room for the viewer's imagination.

[carol white]

I prefer the other one, possibly without the light which is distracting

[Jo Worboys]

I prefer this one

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Lovely

[Rick Schies]

They are both nice, but the other is my Fav
