Love your first one, Michiel! On your second one, I would try toning down the highlights the main blossom just a bit, and it could be really very nice IMHO.
Love your work too, B&J.
In my case, I did something very foolish/stupid. I tried a Leica 75mm APO Summicron.

I read your statement, read it again several times over the course of the day and I could not understand what you were referring to. I thought the picture was absolutely lovely. The flowers looked so natural, almost touchable. I am so naieve. I thought, there can't be anything wrong with that lens! Then I looked it up and all became clear to me. I hope that disease is not easy to catch!
Hm 75mm APO Summicron, I think there would be better lens for flowers, but sure its good for it too. Much less good for wallet. Even when you silently whisper words "Leica" for yourself, your wallet is already preparing to jump of the cliff..
Nice pics all, as usual. And one pic from me (as usual). Oh these stereotypes..

Thanks Philippe!
Especially for you (and for me) I reworked the file. The highlights are gone and I gave it a little more exposure.
Good work, Michiel! As for the lens, I haven't decided yet. I need more than one gorgeous flower picture to buy an expensive lens that is more a portrait lens, when I don't do portraits. But that is already enough that I can't look at my Summilux quite the same way anymore....
