All are great images Michael, I think maybe the flower petals are blown out a little on the first one and the colors are strong. The red rocks in the first one are good too. I think you fulfilled your vision.

I love these! The first is my fave, but I desperately want to see the rocks in the BG lightened up so that they take their rightful place in the success of the image.

I also prefer the first, and think brighter background rocks would improve the image.

Ditto what Todd & Mel said.
Glad you pursued your vision!

thanks again for all the input. I lightened it a little bit but I'm limited to what I can do since I don't have PS or light room.

Looks good Michael.

You might consider PS Elements. It will provide most of the functionality of Photoshop and certainly enough to handle this requirement.
