Rosette Reprocessed

I played with the Rosette last night, stretching more aggressively and going heavier on green. Here's a comparison and I invite your comments. I'm not sure if I like it any better than the first one.

Here's a well colored Rosette to guide you, Rob:

Rob,
Totally subjective, but I do like the revised version better. I think this might be due to the curves as much as color, but it seems to have more contrast between the colors, with nice distinction between the blue tones. Also seems like you've gotten back some red in the middle. The contrast almost has a narrowband feel to it. Great image either way, but I'll vote for the revision

Hi Rob,

Guess what? I actually prefer the first one. Oddly enough, at least to my eyes the second version looks a bit pushed too hard. After looking at Adam's rendition, I'm thinking you're pretty darn close with version 1!
