I like the first one best.
Could be a little more saturated maybe? Not too much.

Thank you! I wanted just a hint of purple, I didn't know if my f/stop was too low.

#1 is gorgeous. I know they tell you to keep the saturation in flowers, but I think in this case the bit of desat works nicely :)

I like #1 too. Nice isolation, contrast, composition, and a shift away from the literal with the color transformation.

I like #1 as well! I just love that deep purple color and creamy bokeh.

First one is a fabulous capture, the second seems blocked up by the weird processing and or excessive saturation.

I like both of them - my biggest critique is your watermark - the font makes the OG stand out in an odd way.

Not too much for me to critique on here, i like em both very much! Perhaps a little more detail to both would be nice (contrast/clarity/expo​sure)

You guys have been great!!!! I think my biggest problem is my watermark. I didn't start doing that until I found out that a friend of my daughter stole some of my pics off of facebook and posted them as hers on a website....

I agree when I first saw these.....if you must put one on, change the font and make it more transparent. BTW If anyone wants to "steal" a photo - a signature is usually very easy to remove.
