Personally I like having the bridge in focus - otherwise it's hard to see.  However, I like the framing on the first one a little bit better.  I feel like the top left corner of the second one is a negative space.

The first one is my favorite, with the flowers up higher in the shot

both in focus = no depth of field = uninteresting photo.

The bridge looks way too small to be the subject, so why focus on it?

I like the first one because, aside from it having better framing, creates the feeling that I'm there in person lying down in the grass.

i think it depends on what you want! Were u initially making the shot for the brige or the flowers.

i like the flowers one best. as said above the bride seems small to be the subject and isnt highlighted verry much.

the bridge is so far away that if it is the object that is in focus, it seems like nothing is in focus. having the daisies in the foreground and in focus makes a more interesting photo because it catches your interest immediately and then your eyes wander to the background and the bridge.

my vote is for daisies in focus

daisies in focus.

the bridge seems so far away and small to be the main object of the photo in focus. plus there is the whole negative space in the second one as well

i personally really like both pictures but i would choose the 2nd one cuz that "far sight" is kind of dreamy and if i imagine having a poster of that shot, i could see myself relaxing when i look at the bridge...
idk that's just how i feel
