Aesthetically they show a good understanding of composition and an eye to find a picture where a lot of us would just walk past without seeing it.

Sorry but I had to mention it!

I agree. Bright subjects against a darker background are pleasing, in general, and especially for floral and macro subjects. The compositions show a good understanding of lighting, just to mention the most apparent overall aspect.
