First one. More detail in the main flower.

I like the darker leaves better, but flower in the second one is on the verge of being blown out. So I have to say that the first one is better.

I agree the first one.

The first (the processed one) most definitely. Isn't digital wonderful?

Second one for me.

The reason is the first seems more properly exposed (if that's the right term) but I feel the subject flower or flowers get lost in the detail. The second is darker (and to me a little richer) and my eyes are drawn to the flowers.

It's almost like a if you're shooting woodlands or a forrest and you capture the ground which happens to be strewn with leaves, sticks, branches, all manner of stuff. To me it distracts from the shot. In the first photo the leaves are a distraction, almost too much detail whereas in the second they all come together and provide more of a background.
