Re: Purple Clematis
Absolutely gorgeous! I prefer the 1st image simply because the composition is especially beautiful to me.
Aside... All the flowers you have just posted are absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful detail, colour and stunning compositions. (Saving time by commenting in just one thread.)

Re: Purple Clematis
Hi John, there are three things I notice right away that set the first image off better than the second one.
1. More effective use of eye directing diagonals in the center of the blossom - in the second, the strong purple edges pull the eye out of the frame at the top.
2. The off-center position of the blossom is more pleasing than the centered position of the second one which has the additional disadvantage of being cut off at the bottom.
3. The textual advertisements are less noticeable and therefore less distracting in the first image.
