I like the bottom one best because of the deeper depth of field.

I like the first one (shallower DOF) for the "implied" depth. Different strokes for different folks!

down at the english fair
one evening i was there
when i heard a showman shouting underneath the flair
*chorus*
i've got a lovely bunch of coconuts
there they are standing in a row
big ones small ones some as big as your head
give 'em a twist
a flick of the wrist


Sorry seriously couldn't resist... I like #2!

There will always be someone that takes better pictures than me so that just gives me so much more desire to learn :)

honestly i prefer the first one i think it draws you in more than the second although if you crop a little off the bottom so theres not as big an area of DoF/out of focus (whatever the techy term is)

I don't think a shallow depth of field helps unless you have something you want to emphasize. In this case, there isn't anything in the center on which you want to focus, so I would go with #2.
