the HTML br and div codes don't work correctly, they probably have HTML coding disabled within posts on the site here.

I like how you used the DOF in #5 to bring out that one flower in the center.

the flower in #4 looks very interesting, however the DOF is really shallow, it makes the focus point somewhat on the rear stamen feel awkward IMO (seems a little soft too? maybe that is just me though).

they look pretty good though, my favorites would be #3 and #5....

Thank you Aloicious, points noted

what kind of flower is #3 BTW?

there is an arboretum/botanical garden pretty close to me, your shots make me look forward to going to try and shoot some flowers this spring once everything starts blooming...

Wow- these are all great!

#1 is by far my favorite. it actually made me say "wow" out load.

Remember I'm still brand new at this, but the others seem to be a bit fuzzy and are hard for me to locate a focus.
