Gerald - Very vibrant yellows there - specially love the repeated serrations in the petals. This looks more an artsy take to me but the dark background with muted flowers there distracts me somewhat.

I have no idea about the ID of this flower - but I am guessing this might be a relative of Goatsbeard

I like the oof repetition of the flower in the bg. Nice composition. The main subject could be sharper for my taste. I don't recognize it, but i'm on the west coast.

Gerald:
The yellow and green certainly pops against the dark bg. The bg is a little distracting. Also the composition is a little too centered and you may want to experiment with alternative cropping.

I actually like the flowers in the BG barely emerging from the darkness. The framing does look a little off though. Don't quite know what I would do to change it.
