Went to the local flower store today to try and find some interesting flowers for the color challenge. How did I do?

Taken today 10-25-05 with my new tamron 28-75 2.8

As I bought these flowers so re shoots are possible so any and all ideas and critique are more then welcome.

Thanks for looking,

Eric

    I love the colors in that first one. It really has something. I think I would move the blue flower out of the middle, It pulls my eye ot it and I think it would be a strong com on a third.

    I really like photo #2, the blue flower is not a natural color.

    Just re-shot first oone, with equal Depth of Field for all flowers and move blue flower in the middle of bouquet. IMHO.

    Regards.

    I really like the blue in the first because it is rather unusual. The second is a more pleasing composition though. Perhaps a different crop could help the first.

    I like the position of the blue flowere better in this one, and the colors are all still great.

    I dont know about the empty area on the right side. Part of me thinks it needs a tighter crop, but cropping it will move the blue flower closer to center. I plyed with it a little and it helps if you crop some off of the right, and a little off the top. The comes closer to filling the frame with color while still keeping the blue flower out of the center.

    I agree with Greaper(though i like the 1st shot)
    A tight crop like this(very low res. here)is interesting:
