Nice work. All comments IMHO...
Flower bud: Very nice. The part of the image with the most impact is the red
buds of course, and these are off to the left. I think it's look better
cropped on the right so that the distance between the left buds and the left
edge is the same as between the rightmost and the right edge. Granted this
cuts through the graceful leaf at top right, but the red has so much more
visual weight this seems the lesser sin.
Rose buds: Nice idea, but the out of focus rose in the left foreground is
obtrusive. You might get away with this if it were dimmer and a more
retiring color.
Another flower: Gorgeous.
Some leaves: Nice idea, though there is enough structure that it can't be a
texture shot and not enough to make a structured composition. My call would
be to trim off the right to make a square texture shot.
Lupine: Beautiful.
Rose: The out-of-focus foreground petal edges do give a gentle effect, but I
still find them distracting.
White flowers: Very nice. Gentle. The OOF flower at top left doesn't bother
me; it's out of the way and there are enough others that it doesn't draw
attention.
Lupines and buttercups: Lovely. I especially like the "echo" between the
near, focused lupins and the farther, unfocused ones.
I'm so glad you don't know the names of many of these. I was feeling
ignorant. :-) Lovely work.
