I really like the second one - great use of DOF, wonderful colors.

The first one is nice, but I might have cropped it differently - the background really doesn't add anything to the shot... otherwise great detail in the petals.

Nice work

Nice pics. Thanks for posting. I need to get a lense that I can do this kind of photography. I only recently got into dslr photography, having been in slr photography for 30 years. It's a whole new set of equipment for me and I started off fairly limited as far as lenses. I like what you have hear and hope to be doing the same sort of thing very soon.

Fascinating details especially the 2nd picture. Just wondering, which type of lens were you using?

wonderful shots of those flowers. i agree cropping the first one a bit tighter would improve.... the color and detail is great.
