It's a cool idea, but I don't think I'd even know what it was without being told. maybe if it was bigger or if the shot was closer...

I am with you bro, I think the world shot is much better.

like 1st version. 2nd one doesnt go for me...

edit::

but i do like the concept of "shooting the world" or so - nice. maybe try something different?

I really like this idea .. gosh .. I had to look really closely to see the difference ..
I would also crop the final image down to the knuckles on your left hand .. unless of course
you plan to use all that space above for some sorta copy .. ?

I'd make the *world* alot brighter as well .. something like the shot of earth, that was taken
coming back from the moon .. *Joni Mitchell* .. I can never see that photograph enough!

Try shooting with your eye open.

I like the world shot, but because i too would have had NO idea what it was w/o you mentioning it, i'll be voting for #1!

"The world through my eyes" as a title would have helped my vote for #2

Funny, this was the first thing I saw too. Your eye being closed looks off.

I do like the world in the lens idea but think it should be larger, a much closer crop would work better.

Nice idea with the world - but would still prefer without -
