If you have a favorite, please let me know, I am curious to see if its the same favorite that I have.

#8 for me. Background isn't so distracting. I might crop a little off the left, but I'm not the greatest at cropping so.... Plus one of my favorite colors is cornflower blue.

I am with scooter2044, #8 is my favourite. No. 1 is a close second. but the orange and purple (cyan?) blobs on the right tend to distract the viewer.

One of the most important things to remember when photographing flowers is to watch the background as, in my experience, it can make or break an image. I always check the background and will shoot the same flower from different angles to try and minimize any "background" effects.

#3, because of its movement and it shows the flower's potential to bloom up the shoot.

Mine was actually 6 for some reason.

Like the last one the best. Nice collection of garden flowers.

Very nice set! And if it is any consolation I also prefer #6.

Very nice shots and colors. My suggestion on these is to try not to center the flower. I find the rule of thirds works well in flower shots too.
