I like cool better

I'd take cool and bump up the saturation in the green a little, make the green less orange.

I'll take some further tweaking of the colour balance for the cool version and a side order of just a hint more depth of field, please! Am I right in guessing that these reflect two different white balance settings on the camera or is one of them tweaked from the other?

ps. 800px max width, remember!

one is tweaked from the other. Warm is original.

top photo, (cool) is the better one. i like it because of the contrast in colors.

[JGennuso]

They are both good but I prefer the cool (first) one. The plant stands out more in that one.

First one. I like the coolness better since I don't really notice things in real life in "warm." If they're warm, my brain does a sort of "auto white balance" for me. (I'm assuming I'm not alone here, and thus not as crazy as I think I am.) So I like the naturalness of the first one better.
