Beautiful! I like both very much!
Nikola, you mention "noise" and "bokeh" regarding image 1. It looks very quiet & smooth to me. (This is confirmed by aggressive sharpening in Photoshop, e.g. USM 500% at 1 pixel). In a few places, most obviously at upper right and in the lower corners, there is some mottling that I believe is in-focus portions of petals. Are you maybe looking at those? If not, then what?
Dave, do you have more where these came from?
