The flowers were blooming beautifully on Easter Morning at my Moms house. Comments are welcome.

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?

Thanks for you comments, I bumped up the exposure just a tad, what do you think are they better??

Very nice Kathy! Happy Easter (belatedly) and tell Moms hello from me!

Much.

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.

[Shadowman]

Nice.

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.

Very beautiful, Kathy...

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