Default Which one belongs

I made a website to sell prints. I was planning on putting a picture that I took of one of my wedding flowers up on it too. I have two that I like, but I don't want to have too many of an almost identical picture/subject on the site. So I ask DPSers which one would you prefer to see on your wall?

I like this one because of the saturation and the glowing edges of the petals. The primary petals in the back are out of focus though.

I like this one because it is more in focus but it doesn't have the amazing colors of the other one.

If you want to look at the site to see which would fit better with everything else it's in my signature.

i prefer the second.
try play with vibrance/saturation, color balance ... to make the colors look more attractives (like the first).

I wonder if you could use Layers to bring out the colour of one and sharpness of the other?

Scott, I played with the second one in PS, and by using Channel Mixer you can bring up the color saturation to close that of the first one

Alright definitely the second one. I'll take in into PS and play with it. Thanks everyone.
