I especially like the first shot. The second one is nice too, but the first is much better. A tip someone gave me that seems to work more often than not when shooting flowers is to shoot them from the side, or at least not head on. I'm sure you are going to love that lens.

I like the colors and the macro style composition but they are a bit soft to my taste.I know that macro can give you sharper details but not at f/2.8. Enjoy shooting.
