Nice! I'm a n00b mostly, so I can't see where you could really improve upon them. Well done, ol' chap!

the squared is perfection. nuff said.

on the second image, my eye is not sure where it wants to focus.

Yeah squared is cool, but the second is lacking reason.

It's always a good idea to ask something specific, that way we know how to approach your work. I like "Squared" a lot, though the flowers could be a bit sharper for my taste. With "White Flower" I'd like to have a shallower DOF. In other words, if the flowers behind the ones with the yellow centers showing were blurred, then the focus on the yellow-centered ones would be intensified and the blur would offer some different textures as well as an increased sense of depth (oddly enough).
