interesting shot, i think if the two other blooms in the background were removed and the sharpness a bit better and the contrast boosted it might make this shot a bit better
2 - Looks like good potential. Sharper focus, bigger (640 width), more control of the reds, a slight variation in angle/composition (allowing in more green and the petal 'chops' at more strategic places), make this better in my opinion. Also looks like you may have some pixelation/resizing/jpeg issues, not sure. Like to see the detail in the petal ruffles/crimping etc, which has not been captured, in my opinion.
