Thank you all so much for your input, I am noticing some general trends and also just some people picking my few personal favorites too, so this is helpful. Thank you guys!!

Pity i only can choose 5... As general comment, i would suggest to add some contrast, or lessen the brightness, to make the colors brighter. (i dont know if is allowed to process the pictures with some program like corel/photoshop/whatever)

No, we aren't allowed to digitally manipulate them at all.

I am a little confused though - you say lessen the brightness to make the colors brighter? What do you mean? Like darken the background so the foreground stands out, or something entirely different that I am just missing completely?

I love constructive criticism, and so I really want to know exactly what you mean. Thank you!

orange and white #14
yellow flower #1
sunset flower #4 (but a little up would have been better )
purple flower #1
pink tree flower #2

I would smoke all of them. :jointsmile:

The Red Flower #2 is pretty nice too.

Really? I like the vantage point of the front-most leaf being almost parallel to the lens. I am insane though.

And LOL :S2:

Oh, well now that you mention that, I guess it's fine the way it is. I just like things that are centered

Excellent pics by the way!

Okay, I took these today just to see if I could get anything better, and these are the ones I liked. Do you guys think any of them are really exceptional?

Well... when you increase the brightness, the colors become more whitish. When you increase the contrast, the colors become brighter, more coloured and less whitish. So, i was suggesting you to adjust this 2 variables (increase contrast or decrease brightness) for make the colors more vivid, more coloured, and less whitish.

And this new pictures are amazing! The 2nd (deep red) and the two blue/purple ones are beautiful! The red and one of the blue must be among the 5 choosen ones, as for me they are the best of them all!

Ah, I see. It was the whole decrease/increase brightness conflict that was confusing me, but that ^^ makes sense. Thank you!

I like the blue ones because it looks like a forest of little blue trees that you are looking up into. :stoned: :stoned:

And thanks again!!
