I prefer the second, not so much for the sharpness or depth of field, but for some reason my eyes don't feel comfortable with the water droplets in the first one. Perhaps because it is a cut flower, indoors, and it looks artificial? I don't know. Anyway, I do like the second one.
Composition is a matter of taste, but FWIW in the second one it looks to me as though the flower is "pointing" to the right, and I would have shifted the flower to the left in the frame so the space on the left ("behind" the flower) was a bit smaller than the space on the right ("in front" of the flower), rather than the other way round as it is here.

Many thanks for your helpful comments, Nick 
- I agree about the water droplets on the first giving that artificial look - I clearly was too heavy-handed with the spray (and used the wrong lens too!)
- I'll re-visit the composition of the second in line with your thoughts.
