Nice detail and exposure on #1. But you must get that hair off it. It's like a splinter in my eye.

Go with a square crop on #2 or move it off center. The image is unbalanced with your larger than life logo.

#3 just doesn't grab me. This seems like one that one either likes or dislikes.

Thanks for taking the time to comment...

I guess number 1 shows the importance of looking at your subject, never even noticed it was there till too late, may use it as an opportunity to improve my PS skills!

Ok tried a square crop on number 2, better/worst?

I am not sure about number 3, was trying to do something a little different and make the picture about colour and composition rather than subject. Like I say, I am not sure it works think I could have improved it with a larger DOF to get more definition in the petals.

The square is a lot better composition...

I like #3, primarily because of the water droplets.

I like the detail in #1(without the hair) and #3 would look fabulous hanging in my office :)

#3 got a nice subtlety.
#1: yes very good and sharp shot - but that hair......
#2 : I do not like the square crop. Move it off center to the left to get more of that shade.

Thak you all for taking time to comment, would love to shift the composition of pic 2 to the left but there is no room to make it work with the crop... May try and get out and repeat the photograph when the sun returns nd see if I can make an off centre focal point work.

Thanks once again :)
