Thanks, Larry.  I appreciate your suggestions.

They are cropped, but not dramatically   I have tried several flowers, and
am indeed contemplating a series.  I like the relative flatness of the
images because I was thinking of them as abstracts, but trying some
lighting effect to vary the appearance of the blossoms is a great idea.

Even nicer than the previous one.  Brilliant idea using the pool as a 
background, it works perfectly.  My one quibble is that having lots more 
space to the left of the flower than below it is just a little 
disconcerting to my eye. I do like how the stamen/pistil(?) is lined up 
right in the diagonal. Even so, it might be worth at least trying 
trimming from the left and top so that the space on the left is the same 
or 1.5 times the space underneath. That would also have the advantage of

How tight of a crop is it already?  If you have lots of space on either 
side to work with, once it's repositioned, you could try rotating it.


In any case, I love the background, you could do a whole series like 
this.  If you do, maybe try shooting with a speedlight from the side to 
get a little more shape and definition on the flower.

I like this a lot.

Could you please add a blank line between the photo link and the
camera and exposure information? Gmail runs the link and the "K-5"
together to yield a 404 error; and making it impossible to view your
images on my iPhone.

Cheers,

Rick

Dan, placing these just slightly
left of center works due to their
"facing" to the right indicating
they are possibly floating in that
direction.
Nice images!
