Critique away!

I like the colors in the second image but your focus should have been on the stamen as it was in the first image.

And I like the colors in the first,(guess I like pastels), but wish there were a little more depth of field so more of the flower was in focus.
You could also crop out that bit of green on the left of the first.

Love The Colors!!!!!
