Manacsa,

I guess the whole thing about clicheness is how relative it is to each of us. It just seems that large portion of my good shots are flowers or some sort of plant. They usually end up how I imagine them to be and I'm quite happy with them.

Good point about the background/composition. The only one I tried to focus the background on was the alst shot (hence the off-centred subject) due to the dull background color and the vibrant color of the flower.

Thanks for the comments!
