I like the first shot quite a lot and I don't mind the Zone IX, but I
think it is unfortunate for the composition that such a big chunk of the
right flower is undifferentiated white.
I guess I'll be interested if you find a rule to cover these situations.
I know that when I was shooting slide, I just didn't shoot that kind of
subject in that kind of light. I think one can salvage more with
digital, but the result often just doesn't look quite right to my eyes.
