Nice idea, but the focus looks a little fuzzy.

nice blur effects. gives the flower a slightly abstract feel. even better if the leaves were not in the frame.

not sure if you intended the motion or not.. i dont care for it myself. also, one can tell there's a building in the background. that takes away from it a little

Except for the black line running horizontally in the background, I like the composition alot. The flower really stands out against the white background and I like it's position as well. What spoils this shot for me is the very soft focus.

I think this is over exposed. The white background with the line and the fuzzy leaves distract from the sunflower.

I like the colors, but would like to see a little more depth of field putting the drops of dew in focus.
