 This is probably my favorite wildflower. The juxtaposition of the sharp, brushlike cone over soft, delicate pedals...

As for editing, I just cropped it to be a suitable 4x6 print.

This is a great shot... the flower has such character! I love the colors and slight dark shadow over the whole image... it makes it more purposeful and less "color flower" cliche

Seems a bit out of focus, but great angle and composition.

Not bad at all but it´s slightly underexposed and that causes it to be a bit flat and makes the colours a bit dull. If I may suggest on how to improve this it would be to expose about 1/2 to a full stop more and correct the WB to a warmer colour and I bet you would like the outcome more.

Good texture but wonder if it would be better if you were closer and cut off some of the flower...my first thought was move it to the lower left corner. Your colors (especially green) are dull also, see if a saturation or curves bump could help. This has potential just needs slight rework.

Good luck
