Both images are very cool, Steve. My personal preference is for the first, but the second is also intriguing. When I look at these images closely, I see some edge artifacts in both of them. In the first there’s some darker lines in the green immediately under the flowers and in the second there’s some rather strange gritty looking pattern along the right edges of the two lower petals. Pretty easy cleanup in both cases.
