I prefer the abstraction of the last one.

I like them all, but the first one stands out for me. The composition is classically beautiful and the quality of light you captured is breathtaking. Very good work.

I like them all, but the composition of the third one is my favourite.  Hey, everyone gets an opinion!

Hey thanks -You saved my day!
Chronically suffering from the over self criticism syndrome it always makes me happy if I get a spontaneous positive feedback.

When I was out there, at about 10.00 a.m., 80% of the people running around there were photogs ....

I think this one would look amazing HUGE... about 5feet across. Looking up to the textures and colours of the blossom I think would be amazing.

Yeah - thats also my favourite from the series.
I wish I had had an MFDB or my Mamiya Univesal with me ... so its only the resolution powers of my awesome S95 ...
But I'll get a loaned Hassy4d-40 over easter - maybe I have luck and I can find some blossoms - but I expect the season to be over then ...  >:(

I like the third one because I am a sucker for backlit flowers, and I always like the sun shining through the trees. But the composition of the first one, with the winding path, is first rate.
