The 1st and 3rd is my wife's wedding bouquet that we hung (literally) to dry during our honeymoon. Almost 4 years later, they look pretty good. The middle flowers are a normal bouquet that we get sometimes for a table. That table gets great morning light, creating nice contrast. I tell you this because I can easily 're-do' all 3 pictures. Hoping for constructive comments that would help me improve lighting, angle, DOF, colors presentation.

Have I overdone the warm lighting? Is the crop too close? Is it memorable...could it be memorable?
How did I do with dark/light contrast? Is this photo interesting?
In particular, I wonder if the 'drab' colors of the dried flowers are too present because of the lighting. Is it even worth doing this with backlight because of the color factor?

Thanks,
Josh

I really like the first one and dont think you need to redo it at all. The second one looks like it has some clipping in the yellow. The third one needs more attention to the composition and background. There isnt anything dynamic about it and the brighter background is stealing the attention.
