I have yet to post any photos I've taken on this site, as you all are far more experienced than I, but here goes A few photos from a bunch of flowers I bought for myself last week. Thanks for looking!

focus is good.. exposure looks good. DOF is ok, depending on what you were after (if you wanted the whole flower sharp, you missed it).

I would have framed #2 vertically, and got some stem / leaves in the shot for interest.

nice shots.. but we see a million flowers like this, so don't be too surprised if you don't get many comments.

This might interest you... applicable to other flower shots also... http://photonaturalist.net/downloads/photonaturalist-13tips-wildflowers.pdf

Thanks, I'll def give that a read. I set the focus on the center of each one, knowing they weren't totally in focus. Maybe they would be better if the whole flower was in focus?
