C+C on my flower shots

[jfrabat]

These have been taken at different times and places, but feel free to comment on them. I dont mind if you have things you do not like as long as you say WHY you don't like them. And if you DO like them, please also state WHY. I am trying to learn, so I need the critique...



Personally, I really like the two red ones, although I feel the las one would greatly benefit from a blue sky...

#1 is an amazing bloom however, the compositon is off and does not flatter the bloom. The background is distracting.
#2 is too tightly cropped for my liking. I would rather see more of the bloom
#3 is a bit too dark and needs to be cropped from the left
#4 I like, clean and simple
