I like the first one with the clear details. The dark background is perfect for isolating the subject and it really stands out in B&W.
Another vote for the first which appears crisper.
Thanks all! I prefer the first as well, almost a firework look. But I also dig the second for the sharp rim and more diffuse middle - two different flavors/feels.Ditto above comments.
