Great image, Lillian, but I'm torn between the two for a favourite because although I like the extra bit of environment in V2, the crop eliminates that big leaf, so I will go for both.

A gorgeous pair of so very well captured images, each with their very own unique points. If I were held at banana point and forced to make a decision, then it would have to be Version2, seeing them in more of their natural habitat instead of cropped and chopped, is so much better.
