Sorry, but I liked the first version much better. 

I liked the perspective better. The viewpoint was much closer to the
fractal structure and helped focus attention on the fractal. (Exactly
where I think attention should be focused in this image.)

The new details you've added to the water and the distant mountains
merely serve to distract one's attention away from the fractal. I
liked the look of the original scene's water just fine. It looked
soft, like a slightly out of focus depth-of-field effect. This
softness helped to direct attention to the more detailed fractal
object (the subject of this image.)

As for your flowers, bees, and butterflies; they are too difficult to
recognize. They could just as well be pieces of yellow litter left
laying in the grass. At the current image resolution, and with your
current scaling for these objects, I think they are best left out of
the image.

Finally, there was more grass and less rock in the first image. The
grass looks nice and the rock looks somewhat ugly, at least if it
occupies large areas of the image. I would keep the amount of grass
coverage you had in the first image.

Sorry if this all sounds harsh; but remember, while I'm criticizing
this image, I'm also praising your first one.   :)
