thanks

They're quite nice, but could do with a little gardening

The red tulip, you've clipped the petal at the bottom.
The daffodils, first one I'd crop a bit from the left to remove the half daffodil.
The second it looks like you were close enough to push the right hand one away a bit (or ask your sister to help!) and get those two stray petals out of the right hand edge.
The crocuses, again you've clipped the petals.
It's good to fill the frame with the subject, far better than being too far away, but I think you were a little bit too close.
The blossom (is it cherry?) seems you have the leaves in focus, not the bloom.
Interesting, I would have tried to put the flower in focus, but it works because the light is on the leaves.

Wow, after that botanical dissertation, all I can say is - I like the purple ones and the white ones best...

I'm no better at flower shots, but it would probably be best to wait until a time when you don't have someone rushing you, so you can explore the angles and DoF to get things just how you want them.

I like #3 because of the depth of field and the way the green leaves of the daffodils and the horizontal boards of the fence lead my eye deeper into the scene - I find it very soothing.

Ta,
