I thought this could use a bit more contrast and pop. Thoughts?

I think they are both great. I like the original posting, but the one with more pop is great too. I guess I am saying 'Different but both good'.

Looks like a great "TADA! Here I am!" Good stuff, Scott! Either one of these is fine with me.

Tremendous photography, Scott, though I do prefer this kind of treatment in your thistle image - it seems to me to suit the flower better there - personal preference only, as you can't fault the craftsmanship here.

There's a fine sense of explosion here, Scott. The two versions are dramatically different. The pop in the repost grabs lots of attention, but in the long run, I prefer the extra subtlety of the original.

Hey Scott,
Very cool and a splendid presentation of this Coney. The difference between the two versions is amazing and can be best described as a 'Generation Gap'. The original would fit perfectly hanging in a Tea Room were properly dressed Lady's are sipping hot tea and discussing the daily gossip. I can see the repost hanging in a dorm room with scantily clad college girls having pillow fights.
Well done . . .

Both R great Scott, but I definitely prefer the slightly 'subdued' original..
The rework's a bit too contrasty for my tastes.
