I was just at Roxborough State Park and there are very few flowers. Didn't take even one photo.

I like #1 best with the blooms against the water. Maybe crop the top a little to eliminate the small patch of white water in the URC.
#2 has too much OOF area for me. Good lightning catch in 4.

Looks like you had a fine day shooting out there.
#1 is my favorite. It has a bit of a color cast, though. Try clicking the grey eyedropper in Levels on that dark rock in the water and see what you think.
I like the nice flower in #2, and feel that if you cropped the top two thirds out, it would show it off a lot better while eliminating the less appealing out of focus areas.
#3 is my second favorite, with the flowers, cliff and moon aligned really nicely. However, it has a strong yellow color cast. Try clicking that grey eyedropper in the dark shadowed area in the center right edge and see what you think.
And yeah, that is a cool lightning catch in #4!

I like the first one the most. I like the blooms over the silky water. Looks like you had a fun outing!
