Beautiful colors. I wonder if partially desaturating the blues would help the swan stand out even more.

Wonderful shot. Full of texture. The person helps give a sense of scale.

Very good concept. A second light or reflector on the left would help a lot here to reduce shadows, grain, and the yellowing inside the flower.

Great eyes, and no major distractions. Well done.

Elegant, if a bit severe. Good separation on the highlight side, but the entirely missing ear in an otherwise frontal portrait is a bit disconcerting. Try turning the head until there is just a hint of ear on the far side.

Bold and powerful. I'd either include more of the building on the right to create a juxtaposition of old and new, or avoid it entirely.

Simple and casual, though I'd like to see a bit more of their surroundings to complete the story.

Bold in it's symmetry, and it's lack thereof. Too bad the top of the flower slips out of focus, otherwise nice sharp edges in this isolation.

Nice colors. The OOF flowers lead my eye up to the in-focus flower, however this feels unnatural in a way. If the background flowers created more of a curve towards a more centered subject this might work better, or you could add more black space above and on the left to balance the shot a bit. I think it's the lack of support (stem, etc.) for the subject flower which is very high in the frame that I find disconcerting. Sorry to ramble on. Feel free to PM me if you would like me to try explaining that again.
