    I really like your #3. #1 also has a nice glow, very pretty flowers, but might have benefited from more light in the foreground (?)

    As much as I love gardens, I think my fave of this bunch is your #3...nicely balanced, really on the Orton theme with the overall glow, plus has emotional appeal (flag and all). GP

    I like the idea of #4, meaning that I like the more intimate, close-up shot for this technique but might frame it more tightly. I also like #3 which is rather sharp (in focus) but has that characteristic glow.

    I'm finding that white flowers in particular are hard to get right........and I agree that with these, #3 works best......

    Also prefer #3 - very interesting colours and the fact is sharp focus but still soft (if that makes sense!).

    #3 for me too. Would look amazing if it had a cloudy blue sky in the background. :B

    I also like #3 best, although the hue of the grass is a bit distracting. What a timely shot, and so nicely composed!
