levels, lighting, contrast, color adjusted in PSE.
Cropped & resized.

Background is paper I had for scrapbooking, which is probably why it looks grainy.

I tried to envision a children's alpahbet book when I took these shots.

DOF works well for me here. Lovel work. Background really adds to this image.

The colors in the flower are very nice. I would like to see the top flower more in focus. I don't think the second flower enhances the subject; however, a third flower to fill the upper right area might have worked. Compositionally, subjects are better represented in odd numbers - for images this size, 1 or 3 seems best.

Love the flowers, the background doesn't seem to fit tho somehow, good luck!

What strong colour! Well selected background. Angle feels a little too elevated to me though I appreciate that's what allows us to see the central circle of the flowers. I think I'd like DOF to be even shallower so that the second flower were even further out of focus. Nice composition, cropped a little tight at the lower edge (the flower feels too close to edge of frame there for me).

I do like the rich colors and contrast, but the background is very noisy. DOF works well, but a touch more on the front flower to make it appear a bit sharper.

This looks a bit over processed in edit. The detail of the petals is gone, and the color is quite flat. You have a nice composition and good background though. 5

Nice shot - but its a pity about the bottom blossom being so out of focus, My eyes keep getting drawn to it. The colours are great though :)
