#1 looks nice , A different angle to the usual.
I am not keen on the other two though others may disagree.
Maybe a bit soft and a bit central.

I sometimes lie on a dustbin liner and take them from underneath. The flowers that is.

#1 does if for me too

nice! magnolia? I agree with the others in that no 1 is definitely my fav. The colors are nice, the background offers a nicer contrast with the purple of the flower than the grey in 2 and 3. Overall I would work on the luminance and saturation of colors in 2 and 3. Are you shooting raw?

[ABree]

Yes #1 is my favourite as well....I like the DOF

Spring??? It's the start of Autumn

I think you did a great work with this series, this color is very difficult to get right, the light is great in your pictures.

#1 is beautiful because of the contrasting color you have in the background and beautiful bokeh as well, the composition is also very nice.
