Which one do you prefer?

Both taken with 40D/60mm Macro lens.

Any feedback is appreciated :)

I think the first photo would be best if the pebble was totally in focus.

I prefer the second photo, simply because I feel that the subject is so beautiful that everything should be in sharp focus, however, I like the composition of photo #1 better.

The colors are stunning!! (^_^)

Composition is better in #1, because the subject is more or less over one of the intersections of the lines dividing into thirds.

#1 with #2's lighting and focus would work best.

#1 with #2's lighting and focus would work best.

Thanks :) I guess that's what others have said too. Will probably take another stab at it with this suggestion :)

I see that you have "IMAGE EDITING OK", so I hope you don't mind me tinkering around. I think #2 is best, because of focus and lighting, if you just move things around a bit:

Completely agree with the re-positioning, thanks! :)

Why is it so soft? Are these cropped highly?
