    Nice artistic shots Kathy, and go Cornhuskers (grew up in Bellevue)

    Could be my monitor but they look a bit on the dark side - have you considered bumping the exposure up a tad?

    From here the 2nd shot looks more even to me now but that left flower in the first may be too 'hot'; splitting hairs at this point, exposure is so tricky because our monitors are all a little different

    One minor consideration on the content in #2, what do you think about cloning out / or burning down that rouge pedal (and possibly the leaf beneath it if it doesn't throw off the balance) on the left between flowers 2 and 3?

    A great job Kathy, with that lighting and the texture you can just feel how delicate those petals are.

    I especially like #2 Kathy I agree with Robert about cloning.

    Terrific photos, Kathy, especially the revised versions.

    Considering that the flower on the right in the first photo is out of focus, I would be very tempted to use a square format or at least an 8 x 10 aspect ratio that de-emphasizes the flower on the right.

    Thanks for the cropping tip, the square format intrigues me!!
