Reversed Nifty

So I got the suggestion in the worldwide photo week thread to reverse the nifty fifty.

Here are a few shots I managed this afternoon. Would love some feedback on technique, composition of a macro and any other critique. Should I be doing 100% crops? These are not.

LOvely series-esp like the last 2 shots.
Think with #1 there is too much OOF petal in the foreground.
You only need to post 100% crops if you are comparing techniques or want to show the detail capture that is missing from the normal web reduced shot.

Thanks Brian, I thought so too on #1. I guess I'd like a greater magnification on the petals and rain drops to make it more interesting.
Oddly enough I felt like the last one was my favorite.

Thanks for the feedback!
