Three More Photos and a Question

[AgentDrex]

Was going to go out and do some photos but was too tired so stayed at home with the camera. Stayed up long enough to take these three photos (well, I took more but as usual only a few turned out well enough to share with you all):

#1
Wrinkled Crabapples

#2
Dandelion Delight

And here is the question, am I the only one that, when looking at the next photo, feels a sense of vertigo? I've never taken a photo that makes me feel slighly dizzy when looking at it.

#3
Opening Soon in a Yard Near You

I should really get my eyes checked...

I think so; I'm not getting any sense of vertigo from it. Watch your lighting in shots like #1.

#2 isn't THAT bad. Could use a little more saturation/contrast though.

Adjusted per recommendation:

I think it looks better than the original, but I might have backed a little off the sautration. Looks better, but almost looks oversaturated now haha.

How much did you bump it?

I like the change in number two but I would back off a little bit because the base of the dandelions turned kind of blue-ish. Watch the background in number three because the subject and background blend together a bit too much.

Apparently I bumped it too much. Sometimes I take suggestions to the extreme (haha), I agree with it being over-saturated. My bad. I will keep in mind saturation levels in future shots.

I think Cyclographist came across the reasoning for my feeling of vertigo in #3. I think my eyes are trying to adjust for the blend of greens. Its making me feel nauseous when I look at it.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I'll go and get some white foam-core or something tomorrow so that when I do shots like #1, the lighting will be better (hopefully, but it is me taking photos, so who knows).
