I don’t like the frame as it interferes with the image IMO. That said, #1 is the better one. The whites are white (not grey) and the yellow is more vibrant.
Ouch! Definitely lose the tacky frame :sick
Prefer #1 as well – looks more natural. It’s very busy around the flower and I wonder if you just shot one flower against a plainer background would it work better?
Mark.
