I took these 3, and thought they could be better, what do you think?

heres the third one-

The first two look almost identical. I like the third one the best because it has a better view of the pistil. The petals seem to be a little droopy and out of focus.

You're DOF is really shallow. I think you might like your results a little better if your DOF was a little deeper to get the whole flower in focus, or go the other way and truly macro the shot and focus on the pistil and crop tighter. This just seems in between to me but take it for what it's worth, just MHO.
