Truthfully, I believe you did a very nice job in your series. For example, from top to bottom, #1 is very interesting. I like the way the petal gets sharper as your eyes move downward and the other petals being slightly out of focus, adds a nice touch to the whole scene. The colors are great and the exposure and composition are awesome. Are those spots a result of dust on your sensor or a result of PS? I really like #2 where the colors, exposure, composition and sharpness all join together for a very pleasing view, not to mention the bokeh is really well done. #3 is a beauty. I especially enjoy the sharpness on the pistils, composition is wonderful, bokeh is awesome with some lovely colors to boot. #4, I have to say it, is a jewel. I like the way it starts out a little on the dark side and then lightens up the further left you go. The sharpness is really great, the clarity makes it very interesting and fun and the hole (Perhaps that was done accidentally on purpose?)
adds some color coordination. The bokeh, is well, bokeh and is most of the time a tough call, but I do like the way it frames the subject. If these were my work, I wouldn't hesitate to get them printed and hang on my walls. (Especially #3, I really am in love with that shot) So thanks very much for your hard work and for sharing with us.
