I think #2 is the far better shot because of the background being under control, the colors of your subjects are better and brighter, and everything looks more detailed due to the higher magnification used.

What Flo and Rob said, plus the "face" is not in view in the first one. Pictures of animals are generally more appealing when the face is in the image.

I agree with everyone else although I wish the center of the flower was a little more sharp.


Rebel XT, kit lens, and cheapo Ebay wide angle/macro lens (first Dslr) and loving it!

Thanks for comments. I'm finding I'd like a longer macro lens. The 60mm is a great lens, but tricky to creep up on the subject sometimes!
