The exposure is better in the black bowl shot, but I really like the composition in the 2nd orange option.

Definitely color.

Orange #2 was really cool.

i like the B&W compared with the colour pic. Have you thought about making the bowl in B&W while keeping the floating flower coloured? Could/should look great and it's a 3rd option for you. Also i liked the sharpness in the B&W one compared to the "bowl" shots.

And just like Mejeanius and Dakwegmo, the composition in the 2nd orange bowl is better than the others. Obviously there is some colour cast (orange) bouncing around which is what Candleman is possibly referring to...


Sorry if I have offended you by using you image.

Wow Topps - cool edit! I like it!

BTW - I was a #2 orange vote too. Don't care for the straight B&W - it just loses too much on this shot I think.
