Any way you can post them online individually, aka not in a slide show? It would be easier to give individual photo feedback that way?

Chris, I think Kristina has a point post some individual photos so we can comment more specifically. Flowers are tough because they are so over done. Look though the floral gallirie at the ribbon winners to really see how to improve your flower pics. we have some great floral photographers here, such as ursula and neil

Looking at the video, you have some good and some not so good photos there... However, afford is awesome... watching video slideshow always make things look better than they actually are. And I think there are some repeats of same flowers, or seems like it... which I wish you had many other kinds instead.

Some nice pretty flowers. One thing that I seem to notice is the red channel feels slightly over saturated. Any of the photos with red photos this shows as a loss of detail in the petals. In the more purpleish flowers, it seems to make the color a bit off.

Very nicely done! Pretty pictures.

It streamed very nicely at 780p full screen on my 24" Dell monitor, but YouTube could not handle full 1080p streaming well at all. :(

I recommend you get yourself "The Flora Photographer's Best Friend".

That is an atomizing spray bottle with a fine mist spray. Use it to spray a fine mist on flowers before photographing them. Then you'll have sparkling water droplets that add a lot of interest to flora images.

The best part is that you have full control over the amount and size of the droplets you have on your subject. :)
