Hello Shelley, looking at #1 and #3 as favs. I like the frilly foilage underneath, seems to be fingertips presenting up the flower to show. Simply lovely #3
Very nice images! Unfortunately the thing that stuck out a bit much was the purple border on 1,2, and 3. It's great and it ties it all together so well. I just think if you made the thicker border a couple points thinner that it'd help. #3 is just right with its subtlety. Keep up the good work!

Those are anemones, not crocuses (crocii?). A quick trip to Google leads me to believe that it's Pulsatilla Nigricans or Pulsatilla Multifida.
In any case, those are some lovely shots!
Thanks Edie... they may also be called prairie crocus, or spring crocus I believe.(Pasque flower)

#3 works really well, Shelley! Sometimes less detail is more, and I think the other shots are less compelling in not having blurred the BG and FG to focus the eye on the main subject. That's why the third shot really works!
