Never been much interested in photographing flowers but for want of anything better to take, I photographed these tonight. Any good?

The first two are lovely, but there is something about the third one, technically you could tear it apart and yet there is something stunning about it. I absolutely love it.

Hmmm -

1st one - the main point of focus looks a like it could with a bit more depth of field to me,

2nd - I feel the silhouettes of the flowers behind the main flowerhead are distracting

third one lovely image but spoiled by the blown sky

sorry

Im a bit short of ideas this weekend so I might end up in the garden - although I havent the nice flowers that you have. Do nettles make good subjects? lol. I think your photos are stunning and my favourtie is the third one. I love the perfect flower in the middle with the contrast of the ragged ones to the right and the bottom - I think thats what makes it so interesting. flower
