Hard to decide which one I prefer..... number one I think.
A slightly strange feel to all three. HDR?

Unbeilevably sharp, Stephen. My favourite is no.1, the blue sky makes a nice backdrop to the white flowers. If it is HDR, it's well done.
(Just the type of weather we have here these days, btw. Over 20 degrees, but the flowers are not there yet.)

All three are superb, but I like 2 and 3 best. The use of a black background in this kind of picture is original and very striking.
No man is worth his salt, who has not been banned from at least one Forum, and two Flickr groups.

These are great, right up my alley Like all of them a lot, but for me number 1 and 2 edge it slightly over 3. All three have a 'zen' feeling in their simplicity, sort of a picture haiku
PS They are much too small here! I went and admired them in your Flickr stream.
Edit: I was so taken with these I forgot to register a couple of minor criticisms. The vignette in number 1 seems more diamond-shaped than oval, the bottom right in particular seems too dark. And the crop in number 2 feels a bit tight at the top, I think the plant should be smaller and moved slightly to the right.

These are lovely shots and once again you show imagination in your choice of viewpoint. They really are very nice, my only concern is that the white at the centre of the last two - is it slightly burnt out, or is it simply unavoidable?
