It can be challenging to capture the colors accurately, but you always do an excellent job with that, Karl.
The use of natural light brings the fine detail in the flowers texture while the good separation from the smooth bg makes the flowers stand out.
It is # 3 and #1 that are on top of my favorites Well done!

Man, I love how you control the DOF on all of these images Karl! And of course, you worked hard for those beautiful BGs. My top picks would be #1 and #4. Love the slight touch of the lighting on the right-top of first floral, great play of the available light. As for #4, the sticking out floral really drawn me in, and no diminishing from the others due to great DOF.
Awesome! Bravo! Great job my friend!

First you have to be drawn to a particular flower for form or color or even for the BG that it offers. Each had a reason that attracted me. I am glad you appreciated how I interpreted the offerings Khai
The light and depth of #1 played nicely, I chuckled this morning as I stepped out and just glanced at the flowers I shot, they just don't look like they have potential until you see the right light and find the right angles to work with then it all comes together nicely. #1 had a lot to offer
Cool that you liked #4, I wished I had done better overall on that one, I think a longer lens with a bit more distance would work, may get another shot at these as they bloom out more.

I am pleased to hear from you buddy. It takes discipline to not add saturation to these, actually the pinks get silly looking if you do. Thanks for recognizing the colors as accurate
Seems to me that you are the one that shows us often the benefits of nice natural light, my subjects just don't have 'eyes'
Interesting pick from you, thank you very much my friend!
