Not sure if this should be macro or landscape, but here goes.

Critique welcome.

Hi there Red J and welcome to the Forum
You got it right, your lovely flowers belong on the MACRO Forum.

I'm really liking that very first shot, Pink, Purple and all shades in between
are so pretty when it comes to flowers.

You got yourself some really nice Bokeh on the first three shots.

The more I see people post centred shots,
the more I realise why people kept telling me to try and avoid doing it,
as I have a tendency to do the same thing Red J.

This is where composition is important.
What I do now is I look at heaps of photos on the forum,
especially in this MACRO Forum, and have a look at how other people frame their shots........ you can really learn a lot by just looking.

There's a wealth of knowledge to be found throughout this entire website in all areas of Photography......... enjoy and thank you for sharing your first Post with us .... Skippy

Thanks much, Skippy.

I agree they are pretty unexciting with regards to composition, good idea to check in this forum for some examples of better framing.
