I feel the back lighting on this one is too strong. I loose the edges of the vase and the stems are washed out. The fronts of the tulips could use some fill light in my opinion. They feel too dark and heavy for the white background.

I like the one purple flower peeking out between the red and yellow. This is a nice touch.

Lighting seems dark on the flowers and too light on the stem bases. But very nice.

This is a very nice, super colours. A bit more DOF on the flowers would have made it perfect.

Light seems a bit over exposed on the background and not enough on the flowers. You were most likely trying for backlight - I would've preferred to see more light on the flowers.
