Elsa #1 and #3 for me, they are most blurry :)

The first one has such an inner hamony, at first I felt drawn to think I see a Michael Erlewine...

I hope you take this as a compliment.

First shot has something special that really makes it stand out and makes for a perfect #1 for the series... the rest are fantastic...

You should stick to your portrait photography Elsa.
...and then do these shots to reach and share a higher level of serenity - excellent stuff!!

#1 is nothing less than stunning - love it! The others are great as well, but pales when compared to #1.

I absolutely agree with Joergen.
The execution is excellent in all of them, the colour combination in the first is delicious and unique.

1 and 4 for me. 4 might appear "overloaded" but I like the assorted blur, and the sharpness of the "main subject".

Very nice set.  The relationship between the flowers and the background in the first one is fascinating.

I viewed the first image and thought ... wow, can't get better than that. Then #3 popped up and receded into nothingness ... double wow ... a low and soft double wow.
