It would appear that they are lacking in sharpness, most likely down to your shutter speed being much too slow. Depending on how steady your and hands are, try to aim for 1/80 as a minimum. Also the lighting is very harsh, leaving the flowers blown out in places, try and shoot during the golden hours to get a much softer, unifrom lighting. Compositionally they aren't bad, although I'm finding the background in #1 a little distracting, try shooting wider open to really isolate the flowers.

In short i would say to many things to see in one frame. Attention gets too diverted.


#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::cout << "POTN is the best." << std::endl;
return 0; }

I have to agree with the previous comments about lack of sharpness, blown-out highlights, and framing. I hope you don't mind but I took the liberty of playing with the 2nd one a little. Since the highlights were blown I took a chance with upping the contrast and saturation a little, sharpened it and cropped out the distractions. Hope you like it.
