Flowers C&C part 2

[EleanorW]

Ok, here are a few more... not as good I don't think as my first ones, but am interested in hearing what I did wrong. For the most part I'm looking at them and knowing somethings wrong, but have no clue what it is for the most part

#1 f9.0, 1/320, iso100 and aperture

#2 f8.0, 1/500, iso100 and aperture

#3 f5.6, 1/200, iso and aperture

#4 f5.6, 1/1600, iso100 and aperture

1 + 2 seem to be too busy imo...
3 is nice I would like some more DOF so that all of the flower is shart
4 is nice composition but the flower is cut off on both sides

just my $0.02

#3 is really cool, wish it was a bit bigger though

Melissa - the image, or the flower in proportion to the image?

Is this better Melissa?

I like it! I was actually thinking more about keeping it a vertical crop but just a closer vertical one, this is cool too though!
