Taking pictures for class and I stumbled upon this. PP aside, which composition is most effective?

I liek the first one, think it's a good shot, although the background is busy, i still like it:)

I'm kind of torn on the background myself. On one hand, it is pretty and colorful, but on the other, it can detract from the actual subject...

DId ya try a black and white conversion on this might be fun .like the composition ~

I applied a light lens blur to the last one (my fav composition wise). I think it makes the bokeh less distracting, but still keeps the colors intact. Hope you like it.

That actually looks pretty good. It's very subtle, but effective. The way it makes the colors more broad than little speckles.
