8 - Beautiful image and nice composition and processing. I like that you've 'illustrated' how a flower garden is a balanced and composed 'frame' in and of itself (if that makes sense). Of course, your title, which of course is personal, adds another dimension to this too (good one) - as somebody planned, created & composed this 'scene' - and worked with 'nature' in harmony to bring it to full potential - which it certainly looks like it is. I think you captured 'all that' well. I even like the OOF fore as well, ok maybe a little more included at the bottom for a little more palette balance, but minor.

8 - This is very 'full on' but I think it would be excellent as a feature print, framed appropriately. I really like the detail and texture you've captured. I only noticed the bug on the second look - 'if only' he/she were in focus too, or maybe not... who knows - works well regardless. I find it a little odd, as mentioned above, that this borders on a spriteish kind of image, without a stem showing, etc - but again, I think it would have a place in 'prints'... if that makes sense.

5 - Nice color scheme, wish the flower head was a little more dominant to see more detail, seems to be getting lost a little in this composition. Good flower choice.

7 - Nice - I especially like the capture of the 'rain'. I bet this would make an amazing print 'wall size'. I wonder about a little more height but that is mainly because of the bend and shape in the flower stem. Tones work well in this.

Nice edit.. I miss her 'rosey cheeks' (one of my favorite parts of the image) .. but that is another image. This edit has a very dreamy feel to it.

I gave this a 7. Thought it told a good story. The marks on the legs I presumed were body art of some sort, henna or some other dye.

Really like the tones in this, and the 'frozen moment'.

I gave this a 7. Nice 'innocence' captured. Maybe a more refined crop may have packed more punch... Just the subtle distractions for me, including the enclosure in the background, take you away from the 'moment'.. if that makes sense. Lovely focal points.
