Composition Advice

[plumeriajoe]

I have three shots of a Bougainville and was playing with composition. Is there one shot that is better than the other and why? appreciate comments

Hi Joe,

I'm a newb so take my advice with a grain of salt.

I, personally, like the first one best. I have a tendency to 'fill the frame' and the first one does that best for me. To me the bloom is the focus and not the leaves and it seems to get lost in the other shots. I also like the texture of the first bloom.

I like the 3rd one second.

Which one do you like and why?
