And the winner is... by an overwhelming majority, the one I like least is the winner. People liked the muted color palette better. My partner said that it helped imply her personality better and that the one I liked, greens and yellows felt too 'poppy,' which is funny as the palette came from a Van Gogh painting. This was a good experiment if only to try and learn how others see work. I suppose, as an artist, I should stand by my choices, which I have on flickr. In this case, I'm happy enough to have the engagement. I pulled a bunch of people who wouldn't otherwise comment on my work out and that's something.
