Bruce, I do like your more "open" cropping on the left (right sides are 'prox the same). I cropped slightly more on the left to off-set the (my) feeling of a tipping to the left. I don't care for the OOF lower base tangle and I needed to take down the top so as to feel comfortable with its balance. I did an absolutely minimal bumping of contrast to help separate the blossoms from the background. No saturation increase.
