Side View or Front View - Angel Christmas Cards

I have a question. . .take a look at the two pictures of the first card. . .which view do you prefer, the front view to the right or the side angle view below. I, typically, take my pictures with the front view but the 3D effects look flat. The side angle view shows the 3D aspect of the card. On the same token, the front view capture all the details of the card which sometimes is missed with a side angle. I need your opinion, which way do you think is better?

Anyway. . .it was a pain to color this image. I had stamped the image on to a gold colored cardstock rather than white therefore it was hard to get the colors to stand out. The lines of the image sort of faded away and I couldn't really give the image highlights. To add the highlights, I had to go over the image with white pencil. The colors actually stands out more with the picture than it does in person. The sentiment says Season of Peace but because of all the glitter and the position of my light source, I couldn't capture the sentiment without it being overly shiny.

Here is the card at a side angle. Your opinion matters so let me know which you like better.

Card Details:

Basically the same as the second card except I colored the image using Prismacolor Pencils and very little Gamsol.

See the card details below.

I think my light source was too close to my card. The card isn't as yellowish as the picture shows. I didn't want to retake the picture. . .oh well.

I stamped the image using Versamark then heat embossed the image and the sentiment with Judikin's "Egyptian Gold" embossing powder. I added a gold lining using a gold leaf pen. The image looks better in person but it's hard to capture shiny glittery stuff with the camera.
