I seem to be one of the few who doesnt want to focus on bugs.. although browns and blacks do seem to be easier to capture correctly than reds.

let me know what you guys think.

this one is just in the process of opening up.

slightly more open and a side view now to let in more light.

last one. this one was tough to tweak in PS, to many oranges yellow and reds. Not sure if the pink petal to the right takes away from the image or not, what do you guys think.

as always thanks for the comments and looking at it.

Like #1 and #4 - good shots.
You are right re the flower colours- reds and yellows are both very hard to shoot.
I actually find flower shots much harder than bugs simply because they are very difficult to make unique or interesting. The lighting and composition have to be just right.

First class shots. you could of course use a mask on the first and the third to bring out the colour but you have done well.
