It's really up to you, as to which one best represents your personal artistic attitude. For my two cents, I like the first butterfly one best (the 10th one in your sequence).

Whoa...Andre, all your flower shots are so unbelievable! It's nearly impossible to choose...but if I had to I guess it would be...D'OH! Can't do it!
OK, I guess the first one. Or the second. The one with the butterfly with the exact matching color is nice too, though.
Darn, really can't do it.

The most beautiful flower is a happy woman, but it seems to be missing from your list.

Aside from "Flower Power" what is the contest description? The question I would ask first is whether this particular contest is primarily about photography or primarily about flowers.

Love all the pics with the butterflies. Nice butterflies too. At the Butterfly Conversation here there is only many ugly butterfiles.
I'm not a fan of structures made of flowers though. I enjoy the natural look.

all butterflies (particularly # 10) + 1
everything else - 1
(I like simple, natural and light colors/things.. so I judged on the basis of that)
