    No, they are very pretty :D
    Just a thought, do you have any shots focused on the nearer red flowers, same depth?
    Creativity's hard.

    Ma'am, this is my 2 cents, so take it as you will Ok?


    A lot of people has helped me in the so I will pass that along to you!

    Please check your focus ring, Iso, shutter speed, fstops.

    Your photo is ok for a snap shot, But use these settings next time.

    If your lens has a macro switch use it. Use Iso 200, Use shutter speed 1/60 to 1/80 and if it allows you to use the fstop 5.6 or f16 - f22, Here's a website that may be very helpful okto you?

    I was using my 24-105 as I was also taking pics of my daughter in the yard. I will keep that in mind. The 24-105 does not have a macro switch unfortunately.
