The first one with the CRT is just wonderful. The background you chose brings out the colours of the flower perfectly. The rendering of the lens suits the subject well.

I also like the first image, and the choice of the background color is spot on.

I also found CRT Nikkor works nicely even at the magnification higher than its intended design when used with M2 ring, on condition that the lens is stopped down at least to f4.0.  Do you use BR-15 to attach CRT to M2?

Frank, Akira, Peter, Grahame. Jakov, thanks for commenting.

@ Akira : the CRT lens is attached with M39 to F mount conversion ring on M2 ring, as I would do on the Df. Please note that the combo is screwed on a mandatory macro-focusing rail. ;)

I have deliberately chosen f/22 to get the most DOF possible perhaps at the detriment of sharpness.

Francis.
