** Greetings from the Critique Club **

Good DOF and focus. Exposure levels seem to be right on. Not sure about the selective desat - I would like to see what the original had to offer. The angle the flower was shot at is a bit awkward to the eye.
Perhaps if you had been at a lower level with the flower?

The selective desaturation here is good, although the flower is a little non-standard in shape and the bright pink confuses the eye a bit. Overall, I like it.

I'll have to be carefull what I say here, but there seems to be some symbolism in this image. Well composed with great color.

Good shot, but I'm not sure that the selective desat works well here. The colors of the flower are so unusual, that it makes it difficult at first to determine what it even is. Upon closer inspection it certainly becomes clear - and you've got great focus & DOF.

Another wet flower shot. It's a very nice flower, and I like the colourless background.

Hmm, I'm afraid the selected desaturation doesn't cut it for this particular image.

I don't really care for the selective desaturation in this picture and the angle at which the picture was taken. Excellent focus, however, and nice water drop.

This has lots of punch. The single saturation of red is good but maybe a smidge overdone. The water droplets are so crystal clear. Perfect focus. Nicely composed.
