Gorgeous weather here in Seattle is helping make the transition back from Hawaii better! Visited a few blocks of the industrial area around here that I hadn't walked through before.
Using the Leica-R 90mm Elmarit like a macro which it is not. The massive RAW image can really be sliced and diced. These flowers are about the size of a finger nail.
The thread is a bit like a world travel diary, so many great shots from different parts of the world by so many talented folks. What a pleasure to be addicted to this thread. I am not sure if I like the bokeh from this picture shot with the FE Sony 90mm macro lens....
Photo taken from an overlook in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia taken at 4:50 PM on June 5, 2015. Image taken with my tripod mounted A7r and my Leica M 90mm f2.5 Summarit lens, ISO 100, lens set to probably f11 for 1/100 second. Processed in LR6.

Too much "over-dubbing" (added clutter and HDR cliches), and not enough attention to technical PP like removing the dust bunnies from the image.
Having said that, and hoping you don't take offence, I think you have a good graphic design sense and your compositions are very strong. You just need to capture more of the design aspect in a realistic way.
Oh, what the hell! I'm going back to like your pictures in the hope that my message will be softened.
Thanks for the constructive criticism. I am 79 years old, and I guess, stuck in my ways. Goes back to my darkroom days (built my first one in 1959), and always did burning, dodging, and saturated colors.
Thanks again, and of course, no offense taken!
Dave
Great effort!
Thanks so much, Dave! Looking forward to seeing more of your compositions!
