Two shots from the garden

D90 and Sigma 150mm f/2.8 macro. C&C welcome as always.
Was on the fence regarding number 1, but it's grown on me. I question the composition.

Thanks for looking!

I like the composition of number 1, the curved lines lead the eye right to the middle of the flower, and your DOF works well to keep the eye there. My only minor critique is that I think the image is a bit too dark overall, but depending on what colour the flower is in real life, that might not be a valid critique.

The second shot is nice, too, but I prefer the first as it is a bit different from the norm.
