Hi Gary,
Have no fear post away and receive the critiques as friends assisting 
friends. :-)

I like both, however I'd think "tighter images" next time. The large group 
isn't bad. However I'd crop that right side single flower off and go tighter 
on the main grouping as I'm sure it will make a stronger photo.

In the second photo? It's way too loose in cropping and you need to go 
tighter on the single flower closest to the camera. The fencing "might help" 
make it even more interesting? I think as you crop, look at how the fencing 
may or maynot add to the composition?? And all those green leaves are 
meaningless and take away from what could've been a much stronger photo of 
just the single flower. When I make my comments, it still comes down to how 
you most like and see the final photograph. Often I've been known to be " 
WRONG!" ;-) I've learned to live with my failings! ;-)

And in this case, as hard as it may be? Really bend your knees or kneel 
right on the ground to flower level for greatest impact and go vertical on 
the one flower !

Other than these minor things, you're doing fine! :-)

You are seeing the right stuff, it just takes a little fine turning! :-) 
Keep them coming! :-)

cheers,
Dr. ted :-)
