Kumar,

I'm not sure about the high key bg in this - or maybe it's just the amount of it. Since the composition is centered I might be inclined to crop it to a square or a 4:5 aspect ratio. I like the flower and the bee - just not sure about all the white.

I like the graphic nature of how this turned out. I think a complimentary color for the background might work better than the white.

Very nice. I don't always like a white bg, but on this image it works very well. I love the detail in the center of the flower and the insect.

Thank you so much for your observations and comments.
It is interesting how we all see things differently, which is also why it is wonderful to have a forum to exchange our views.
