For me, taking photos of flowers is like shooting fish in a barrel. I am red/green colorblind. Not a good thing when I desire to get artsy fartsy once in awhile. You will see what I mean in the 2nd photo. It was easy to put a black background around the flower, but this time, black just did not cut it. So, I decided to get fancy. After an hour, I gave up. I have no idea what I have here.
I think you are unduly critical of yourself with these, but I can understand your frustration.

Background looks purple to me Tom but it suits the rose. Keep doing them and see what you come up with, could be something interesting color wise that non colorblind folk would not do..

Thank you, but I think it looks superimposed to me.I don't think you blew it at all! I really like it. The colors work well together, and the background offsets the rose quite well. I love photographing flower close ups as well.

Yes they are, I wonder if a step or two away would have been better, but this red/green thing has bothered me forever. Sometimes I cannot tell which is analogous, therefore I depend on contrasts. I appreciate the input.Pastel violet bkg. with a pink flower. Analogous colors.

I think I fugured it out. Number two needs a stem with leaves.I think the photograph is beautiful; in NO way does it look like an "amateurish attempt".
You hit it out of the park! Thank you for posting.

The second one could use a stem. Perhaps then I would be happy. Thanks, Rob!I think you are unduly critical of yourself with these, but I can understand your frustration.

So every once in a while when your socks happen to match, your folks just thought you had finally gotten serious and settled down!

Yes, a stem with leaves would anchor the rose, but this photo reminds me of a balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, just something innocent and joyous floating up in the sky!
