This time with some selective softening... Thanks for taking a look and offering C&C...

Ned, I like it! I think the softness fits this well.
My only constructive idea would be a crop of half the lower petals at the bottom, there is just too much there IMO. If this is already cropped at all, I'd add a bit to the RH side as well so the one petal near the RH edge has a bit more room in the frame.

I like it the way it is Ned. The softness also works very well.

This and the last are both just perfect! Nice work Ned.
My wife wishes I'd take photos like this. I tell her that she has to grow such beautiful flowers first. Congratulations on both points!

Like this one a lot, Ned.

Another killer botanical image. Careful or we'll change your name to "Flowers Fenimore". Not quite as studly...
"Flowers" Fenimore? Aw come on guys... er, uh, Rick! No fair razzin'. There's lots of guys on Flora Forum doing really beautiful work. So, Ned... this is not on Flora 'cuz why? Glad I saw these here; would hate to have missed 'em.
