These are nice pictures. I really like the colors of the second flower. I would just crop it a little bit to get rid of the distracting yellow in the corners. But again, these are really nice pictures! Good job!

Thank you so much for your comments. I'm trying, but technical stuff is very difficult for me to take in, so I practice, practice, practice.

Really nice work. I agree with MLM about the cropping. Einstein said "Genius is 99% hard work".

okay, do you think this crop works better? I have to admit I hadn't even noticed what you mentioned on the edge of the original, but after you mentioned it, it stood out like a sore thumb. Thanks again.

well.. the 2nd shot in your first post doesn't show.. but from the comments.. I am guessing its the same yellow flower that you re-cropped and posted again..

Love the depth of field in your shots..

Here's something that I do.. I take a lot of shots each in a different angle or perspective of the same flower.. then I go home and download to my computer and then decide which one's are the best and delete the rest. Also spend some time thinking about how else would the shot be cool.. Hope that helps..
