Fantastic colors, great light and marvelous details from the snail to the thistle like flower! That snail is really hanging by a thread or rather a petal. Main subject pops very nicely off the bokeh backdrop. Well done.

Love the perspective and this kind of makes me wonder... Where did this come from...

What a great fine. Well done with the sharpness. I thought there may be a bit too much empty space on the right side of the image.

Lovely burst of floral color in this shot. Love how the vibrant purples pop off the bright greens. I do think that there is one thing that could make the composition even stronger to further appreciate the delicate nature of this flower. Bring your audience closer, zoom in such that your main subject either fills the bottom 1/2 (giving less stem) and more of the allium's in the backdrop as bokeh or have a horizontal presentation where the main flower dominates the left half of the frame while the second half has the negative space of the bokeh background complete with the complementry field of greens and purple alliums.
