    I know, I know. Some say flower shots are easy. May be :) But it's very easy to make a not-very-good one, too, IMO. In any event, regardless of everything else, I like the colors of the last photo, the lighting, and the depth of field used.

    Who said that? I know I ain't no good at it. They are easier to critique than to do. But I feel the first one would be stronger if the others wasn't in the frame. Upper right and lower left. I think the second one is great but the right side is to close to the frame. You have some real eye poping colors and nice exposure. All in all nice work

    The first one is my fav. (I do think Greg's suggestion would make it even better.) The colors are very vivid.

    I knew I was going to get in trouble with that :D I also said that there have been some very nice flower shots posted lately...

    Like Mosheya's shots here. I think the first one would be better with the right side cropped. Maybe go for a square crop with just that left most flower. The second is nice juxtaposed with the wood. I think the third would probably be better in a vertical format since the flower is more vertical than horizontal. Of the three, I like the first one the best.

    I like the second one.
    To me the first one's colors seem too plastic or something plus as was mentioned the the flower on right and bottom are distracting.
    I think the third needs more depth of field or the point of focus should be on the leading petal and not the vertical part.
    They're all pretty nice though and at least you didn't chop off any petals,(one of my pet peeves in flower photos).
