Flowers - First attempt (6 Shots @ approx 180K each)

Hi All

Here is my first attempt at some flowers - I know I need a tripod or something but can anyone comment on composition - e.g. are they too busy

The first shot does it for me. Beautiful shot of the flower, nice composition and etc..........VG!!!

The other shots have some "unnatural" distraction that I would either, 1. Crop or clone out. 2. Angle my shot to not include them. I mean the deck, chains from a hanged pot, lawn grass and etc..........

The last one is also nice.........
