Flowers & Plants Critique

It saddens me to forward the news that our good friend and fellow photographer, Matt Quinn, has passed.
As some of you may know, he had been battling cancer for a while and was on his way to recovery.
Please take a moment to remember him in your prayers.

Yeah, I'll try to take a picture of almost anything. All comments appreciated, including about whether I need to crop/de-center.
