Just a couple of pictures of springtime flowering. Any suggestions this coming spring would be helpful.

I think you need to isolate the flowers against a darker background in the bottom one, the middle one looks ok to me, and the top one too me looks to dark. Maybe try and play around with exposure compensation will help you get the tonalities better.

1) have some wine before you shoot.
2) find one or three blooms and try to find a pleasing composition of the selected buds.
Pay attention to the background (always)
3) watch the light - sip and wait till the blooms start to glow.
