Nice! A simple diffuser for small flowers is to use an empty milk bottle (the gallon kind), and cut off the top and cut out a hole opposite to the handle. You then have a nice diffuser for little subjects :)

May flower side challenge #1

The angle is beautiful! I think that with this much light you could get all the flowers in the compo sharp (use a smaller aperture). Did you use a polarizer? If not, it might help to cut down some of the glare on the petals, and intensify the colours. And yet another nitpick (don't kill me!), the compo, it might be worth it to make sure no stems without flowers are included in your view (you can bend the flowers out of the frame for this purpose, or find a different group). Something else that might help, this looks like it was made at high light time - it helps to make flower shots early or late in the day, or ... not on a so bright sunny day, but a bright overcast day instead (although you wouldn't have the blue sky then). Anyway. Sorry about the long comment.

Nice, love the concept, and the colours. I wish the front most tip (the one in the middle) were sharp also.

One thing I like about this one is how the front stuff is in sun, the back in shadow. Makes for beautiful light.
