Hehe, sorry i havent posted much, been busy with exams.

just wonderd, what you guys think of this one?

 

[Artemis]

And another.

What yah think?

 

[bogleric]

the second is much better than the first, however the second still needs more depth.

 

[Artemis]

What yah mean by more depth?

 

[Jeff Canes]

More DOF (Depth of Field), the petals on the left side are out of focus.

Some vocabulary:
depth of field: The distance between the nearest and farthest points in an image that appear in acceptably sharp focus. DOF is controlled by aperture, focal length, and focusing distance. Larger apertures (low f/#) have less DOF than small apertures (higher f/#). A wide angle lens will have more DOF at any given aperture than a longer focal length lens at that same aperture. DOF decreases as camera to subject distance decreases.

Did this get photoshoped at all? I think maybe if it was a little darker or had a little different lighting the second one would be better. It does seem shallow but the DOF looks ok to me. The second one is a much better shot because you pulled the point of interest out of the center of the picture. Keep trying... you just have to practice at it.
