Some Dandelions. C&C welcome and appreciated

So it had been a long time since I used my macro lens (Sigma 150 2.8, no OS), so I rigged up a nice softbox with some paper plates and coffee filters and went to work. I had a hard time finding dandelions without major imperfections, but here are a few attempts.

T1i

Just for starters

REALLY thought this shot was cool. I liked how it was the only yellow flower in a field of otherwise dying plants. For some reason was blind to that horrible dead stalk placement right in the way. That is, until I loaded it on my computer.

I so badly want the flower to go corner-corner, but can't make it happen. Next time I will try harder, with this in mind.

As always, thanks for any tips, criticisms, or general advice
