Defintely #2. I love it, it looks magical. That sounds really cheesy, but for some reason I get like a Narnia vibe from it. In a good way. I don't like the first one at all. That gives me a Vegas vibe.
ETA: I figured out what the first one reminds me of...the plumose anemone, aka Metridium senile! (I'm a huge marine bio nerd)
Actually that's not an entirely bad thing in my book.
