I think the first one needs a bit of a crop, perhaps top, bottom and left (which will also remove that grey bit of leaf in the background). Great DOF and detail though.
The second one is my favourite even though the frame seems a bit empty, the light is great and I have a soft spot for ferns
The third one doesn't quite work for me, the OOF foreground leaves are a little distracting and the bent over tip is a bit of a mess.

I agree with Tim. I like number one, but a tighter crop might make it stronger.
I love number 2, that light.....

Yes I think your right on number 1. I think I isolated the flower from the leaves behind too much and this is why there is too much space.
See what you mean about the distraction from the foreground leaves. I guess the unrolling leaves are a bit of a mess. I woundered if it would work better if it was going bottom left to top right?
The light was nice on no2 and the fern was isolated by the light.
Thanks for the critique.

I think the first one could stand a little more space to include all the background leaves. The second one is very good while the third one is the least successful but all are very nicely seen and captured. Nice to some clear, crisp photographs.
