I haven't seen the first version and do like this a lot. Bravo on a splendid macro shot. The yellow background adds a special touch, contrasts nicely with the purple flower.
It becomes more abstract as more of the flower is cropped out. Nice color and exposure. Great flower shot. -tv

Really good thumbnail, it could be a rag or a paint roller or something wierd from Planet Zog, it's a shame in a way to open it and find a flower. Lovely shot though, i've got the urge to smell the perfume of the bloom.
