Wish it was possible to get feedback from Monet on these spring wild-flowers! I am still working on building the diffuser, but tried to minimize imperfections due to flash. Below are my attempts and all criticism is cherished:

#2 and # 6 really say "Come inside and see what I have"...

#12 and #13 are just superb to me.

Very nice i like the last 2 and i wish the # 5 was stacked so that the foreground part was in focus and less distracting ...but very good bunch ...i wish i could do flowers as well

I especially like number 12. Perhaps cloning out the green leaves on that one so the flower stands alone. I would like to know the settings on that image and how you took the photo. Thanks

I recently saw print of a flower that looks something like number 4 - it was fabulous.

Thanks Phil!! Settings are below...didn't have to process much but always use strong contrast and warm it up a bit and enhance highlights...
