Hello i'm a new photographer and looking to learn. Any feedback is appreciated. I was using my new butterfly reflector just getting a feel for how to use it. Fuji X-T20 with xf18-55mm.

Welcome Luke. Here are my thoughts as a hobbyist of a couple years. The first shot looks a bit overexposed the white flower on the right looks pretty blown out and loses almost all detail. Next I would say watch the composition especially the edges you don't want to barely cut something off it feels like an accident look at the top and bottom of your second shot I think you'll see what I mean. Sometimes it's easier if you just take one or two from the group instead of trying to wrangle the whole group. The third shot is the best in my opinion, but I would like it to be just a hair wider or even better would be to rearrange the rear flowers so they were closer and pull the front one a little more forward. Hope this helps, and I don't come off too harsh. Keep it up!
No not to harsh at all that's what i'm here for. Thank you for the feedback.
I'm no expert, but I agree with Troy that the 3rd is the best photo. The angle also gets all flowers in the background so it doesn't feel like a cropped image, and your center chrysanthemum feels like the star of the show.
Thank you for the feedback Chris. I agree with both of you the third shot is the best. The first two feel like a snapshot at best. These were all just experiments to get some feedback and thank you both for your help.
