I prefer the crop. Like the detail in all the different textures and how the cracks in the mud appear more dominant. I find my eyes move more slowly and with more interest over this image than the first.
Looked at one and thought. "needs a subject, if you cropped it the small gumnets could be"
then in two you had done just that.
Initially thought, "bit busy still" and tried to think about CCs but the more I looked the more I started to like it and couldn't put any particular theory or rule to it.
Abstract and lots to look at but busy still.
Went back to one and decided I like the finger like twisted branches.
Fickle I am. Think two would work best as a portait. give the branch a sense of life.
I think I just like how I can see the whole circle of life thing happening, earth, weather, potential life and decay
