I am thinking of submitting one of these in a photo contest. How is the composition, etc. of each and which one do you think is the best photo? Thanks for helping out.

First one, I was wondering if it could still use a closer crop though?


you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

None of them are even close to the needed depth of field.

Thanks for your comments all,

To Robert_Lay - I experimented with several Fstops to get different depths of field and settled on this one. I did not like the bokeh so blurry that you could not tell what was in the background. I liked this one because of the way the flowers looked in the foreground, midway, and all the way in the back.

By the way I have chosen #3 to submit.

Number 3 looks really nice. Looks like enough background blur to emphasise the focus on the butterfly and the plant. The other two just seem a bit cluttered. Maybe crop in the left hand side to a square format, bringing the main subject a little more central. As it is I think its too far over to the right. Also its a tad cool. Quick edit, hope you dont mind.
