This could've used some despeckling and sharpening, it's a bit dim too. Nice composition though.

I like the composition on this... but the detail in the flowers is not shown very well, in my opinion.

Focus seems a bit soft. Love the sparkles though

Nicely composed, nice shades of purple, could benefit from being a little sharper.

Pretty flowers and a nice, clear background which does not distract. The flowers aren't quite sharp enough for me personally, but I like the 'glittery' effect they have.

This is a good image, it seems a tad bit out of focus however
