Flowers

I love flowers.  However, most of the flower pictures I come across are usually pretty boring.  I hope these don't fall into that category.  I think that a change in perspective, and some creative depth of field makes all the difference.  (Speaking of creative, I wish I could've been at least a little creative with the title of this post, but I just couldn't think of anything clever.)

None of these have a whole-lotta processing applied to them...mainly I just added a bit of curve in PS.  The dreaminess comes from my favorite little buddy...the 50mm 1.4. 

Its amazing what this little lens can do for a bunch of weeds!

Same exact flowers...different view...and maybe a new bug...

What do you think?  If you tell me that they are still just boring ole flowers, it'll just make me try harder next time.  Got any tips that you use for taking flower pictures?  I would love to hear'em.
