The stem intersecting the lower bloom weakens the shot because competes strongly with the subject. Lastly, the subject is too centered in the frame which makes the shot feel static.The second shot is the stronger of the two. The background is busy but adds some context. There's really only one strong color in the background and we have a bold subject so we're off to a good start. Once again, though, the subject is centered in the frame making things feel static. The shot also lacks contrast and just needs some general "punching up" in post. A proper crop and work on the color would help a lot..... </blockquote>
