I could use an opinion on something. Recently I did a remade version of a wallpaper I submitted a month or so ago.

Here's the original

And here's the remake

I used what I think is a better texture for the remake. Plus I scaled it down more so you could see more of the original image. The remake looks more how I originally envisioned this wallpaper looking. However, the remake so far isn't as doing as well as the original is. Then again, I only submitted it yesterday. Still, I have been wondering if the remake really is better than the original. So I'd like to know what others think. Is the original really better, or is the remade version really as good as I thought it would be?
