Both #1 and #2 are very beautiful, dramatic colors, excellent lighting and excellent color balance. Compositionally, I find #1 to be a bit too centered, and the superfluous blossom at the right margin only distracts. It may be a better composition to just crop that out completely, leaving the main subject off center to the right.

#2 has a similar composition problem in that there is too much nothingness at the left.
I would like to see it rotated 45 deg CW and cropped, but then there would not be enough left. I think you will have to give more conscious effort to compose in the viewfinder, or zoom out further to give yourself more opportunities to re-arrange the composition later.

#3 looks very familiar. Did you post it on the forum about 2 months ago, or so?

Sigh... guilty. I seem to have a problem with that. I don't notice it when I'm shooting, but when I get back home into PS CS2 it sticks out like a sore thumb. I need to concentrate a bit more in the viewfinder. I used to shoot professional studio camera for TNN and never had that problem. Then again my "Viewfinder" was a 5 inch black and white monitor!
