Fine job Chris! #3 rocks for me! Anemones can be difficult to shoot.
On 1 and 2, I\'d suggest perhaps reducing your flash output by one or two stops which will help reduce the blown out area near the top, that washes out the color a bit. Or, get yourself one of those 5 in 1 reflector sets, and use the inner diffuser between the light source and the flower. That helps me tremendously when I need higher light output for proper exposure, but want to soften and spread it out.
On #4, could you perhaps dodge the center a little?
I did an anemone not too long ago if you want to search my posts, or I could just post a small version of it here to give you an idea of how I approached it...it\'s the red-white-blue version...
Cheers~!
