5 - Good idea. A little 'deeper' dof to get all in focus in the center, as well as a little more included compositionally on the top, make this even better in my opinion.

9 - Oh - excellent, very nice. Wow. There's a few tiny specks I can see here and there, but otherwise this looks perfect. Colors, including control of them, coupled with the detail, are excellent. Maybe that foremost anther in perfect focus too.. Great image, taking liberty of adding to Favorites.

6 - Nice use of the shape. Good composition. Just the stem mainly - the detail and color detract, in my opinion.

6 - Nice, especially the lighting and colors. Looks like possible resizing/something issues, although barely discernible. Perhaps a variation in crop, especially at the bottom - also on the right to diminish the imperfect leaves, but those could be left in intentionally.

6 - Nice scene/concept. Overall (and apologies in advance if wrong) looks 'tilted' and like it needs a nudge rotate up on the left to straighten it. a bit more detail/focus in the petals, as seems to be on the sand just in front of it, as well as (difficult) more control of the whites, make this even better in my opinion.

5 - Nice scene and composition - just the flowers seem to lack detail, mainly in the color and texture. Also if they were not cropped, or else more selectively/tightly, make this better in my opinion. Like the wave barely visible in the distance.

5 - Nice detail. A little more height, especially for added balance, likely helped this in my opinion. Frame, both thickness and color, detract - again, my opinion.

7 - Nice macro and detail, good use of light. Overall, just seems slightly off balance, perhaps a variation in the composition and crop, may have given this even more of an edge.

Poppy

5 - Nice use of dof. Red looks borderline starting to 'blow'. A more refined crop and a variation in composition, with the main poppy more off-center may have made this even better in my opinion.
