Yes, but it is not easy.
Third is third. Too much pull away from the main subject byt the OOF flower lower left.
The other two (and the third) have nice crisp colors, appealing bokeh, and a presence to them. First seems a bit more balanced than the second, and the hummingbird is less squeezed by the frame, so #1 is my vote.
Nice shots!

Three - for me the humming bird does not fit the picture.

All -- the blue sky is a bit too blue - for me

1,2 - the hummingbird competes with the flower for subject - and the hummingbird is oof because of depth. l like 2 better than 1 for framing.

3 - cloning/cropping left bottom to reduce dark at edge would improve.

Very good focus and dramatic colors.

#1, by far.

For me, the point of the shot is the contrast between the bright yellow and incredible (!) blue.

Only #1 really exploits this.

The other two shots are just pretty pics of a sunflower.

That seems to be quite a lens , BTW. What did you use?

Scott, good to hear from you and for chiming in. Yes, I do concur with you. You probably had noticed that Nr 1 was ready from framing and it is now framed and on the Louis XIX easel. Ruth said:"Van Gogh is no match."
