I suspect it depends on where you intend to use this. If you are going to frame it, used the cropped version; it is a much better composition. If you are going to sell it to a magazine, they will appreciate the space around the flowers in which to place their header and copy. Besides, most of them wouldn't recognize a good composition from their elbow if you have them a compass and a map and three days to find it. Photographers have always complained that there best work has been left of the darkroom floor, never seeing the light of day.
