--2. angles
i do not quite understand on this. do you mean to shot facing the flower and not from the side?
ok more like angles that hide away the not so nice or distracting background.
not that you're not doing it yet.

just take note of it.

--if possible, try to maintain your pictures at 6x4 or 4x6 size
is there any particular reason for this size?
yes well it's standard picture size, say 4R
anyway try to maintain it with the ratio as follows.

3R (3" x 5")
4R (4" x 6")
5R (5" x 7")
6R (6" x 8")
8R (8" x 10")
* the numbers are changeable. 3x5 is same as 5x3.

just a matter of portrait or landscape.
i use 3:2 (which is same as 6:4).
