I love that you don't shoot straight down on the flowers.
Also, its nice that you picked a simple background for the rose picture. That is always a nice touch for flower photography. and I like the DOF in the first one.
I'll let someone else give you Crit though, im not much of a flower photographer.

I think you're losing a bit of detail because your colors are over saturated.

That said, I like your compositions smile you fill the frame and use the rule of thirds to great effect. I think the issue may be in your post processing. What do you do when you get a pic off your camera and ready to upload?

I didn't use the hue ans saturation on these photos.... sweatdrop

I take the picture off my camera through the memory card, and upload it to photobucket.

on the 3rd and 4th photos I'm going to agree with Phoenixliv. They would look better if there was more detail in the petals.

I already gave them my thoughts on another thread in the PP, and it applies to this set as well. Rather than copy-pasting or retyping that message, I can simply have them remember my advice through a shorter key phrase.

You may have the "vivid" selection turned on in the color management section in the camera.

then don't post. your "Shorter key phrase" obviously did not make her remember anything of what you may have said before. It would have been better to just copy paste what you had said, or give new crit. for the new pictures she put up.
