I had a go today. Not easy I tell you, so much DoF to work with - eek!
The focal points are also difficult to obtain.
Tried to capture some line or form to make it interesting.
Being a first attempt at this, what you all think please?

Only had some common daisies to play with unfortunately.
C&C welcomed.

#1 - Up, up and away

#6 - Berries 'n Blue

#7 - Curvacious Cuties

I wonder how a 10-20mm at about 10mm would do?
Hmmmm ....

    These look real nice Kevin, I'd be pleased if these were mine nod.gif
    I like all of them, there are none that I don't like.

    #4 - #5 - #7 are my picks, don't be so hard on yourself,

    I like number 4 - morning view - everything about it from the lavender flowers to the angle it's taken on with the window/ledge in the background.

    Nice one.

    Excellent series. You've certainly got an eye for a good image.

    Looks like I may have to blow the dust off the 15mm. :D
