Bill, only thing I would do is lighten up the stem so that the flower doesn't look like its floating. That provides an anchor for the image which is pleasing to the eye.

I don't know, I kind of like the abstract nature of the floating flower head. The crop seems a little tight for me though.

Bill great image looks like the flower is glowing in the dark. Agree with Dean on the stem issue.

Very nice, wish I could see it a bit larger.
