    Your first three shots are really striking and I particularly like the first image, great colours!

    Thanks for sharing

    I really like em all. The weakest out of the bunch for me is the last one. The strongest is the third one. I really love the creamy tones, water drops and the harsh contrast of the soft beautiful flower (flower power!!) to the rough tree bark in the BG. Very nicely done. And welcome to PR

    Im with Leels on this third is the best, but I really like the Rose as well. Good shooting - looking forward to some more.

    All four are wonderful to me! Your chosen background, your DOF, your exposure and focus. It's all great! And welcome!

    Re: First post (flowers)

    Thanks for the kind comments...I mainly concentrate on flowers (which a lot of folks ain't into)...the cool climate in Hobart allows for a myriad of varieties...and the challenge is to try and make the shots interesting. I look forward to receiving advice on how to improve, cheers.

    I like them all too especially as macro is not my scene. In other words i am brutal at macro, ha ha. Only suggestion here is to post one at a time as when you post several they are automatically judged against each other and not on their own merits.

    They are all very well done. I especially love the rose with the water drop.
