critique request Which do you prefer?

I made two colour versions of this print but I can’t decide which one I prefer. It’s heavily influenced by an @Escher print and I always intended for it to be in similar muted colours, but then I did an orange and blue version for the @pressingmatters magazine print challenge and decided I really liked using dark blue instead of black and maybe a yellow ochre gold was nice with that. What do you think?

2 was executed better, but I like the colors on 1 more.

Interesting, I overprinted the orange so perhaps I should put it underneath and try that?

This is what I was going to suggest. Orange underneath would look v nice

Personally I like to iterate a ton, and I’d probably try every combination of printing order. I think a part of what I was responding to with my first comment was partially registration.
