New guy here. Thanks for the opportunity to read, look and learn here on this great forum. Here are several shots I got this past weekend. Thanks for looking and for any thoughts!

wow, tough crowd.

First...it is better to post only one or two if they are related....each shot has its different merits and its difficult to critique so mnay.
That said these are all quite nice. I like your focal points and dof. Color is great.
I have a bit of a problem with the second one...the top center tulip that is somewhat closer to focus than the rest of the background. I find it distracting and would clone some of those more blurry smaller flowers over it and maybe the one on the left. Careful cloning and it will be beautiful
Colors are great in the third but it seems busy and a couple of the tulips are chopped off.
I guess as they are I like the first one best but would go with the second if you did that cloning I suggessted....your choice of course.

I keep going back to the second and fifth shots I think both could do with a crop to get rid of a few distracting elements but the colours are wonderful. In the second I think you could possibly isolate the predominant flower and give it a slight curves adjustment to make it stand out a little more.

On the posting of one or two shots thanks for the advice...good to know. And awesome thoughts from both of you guys. Thanks much.
