Love/not photo1 dyp/triptic

as these images were shot on my SLR i had to redo the calculations for a dyptic, as well as doing on for a triptic to create them using the first images from my love/not photoshoots. The photos were as followed:
The only triptic i chose to do with these images was this one, showing the different stages of 'picking' while this does look rather nice, it doesnt really make a statement on the superstition, it mearly, and obviously shows the leaves being picked. Also with this idea with repetition within these images, that unlike the images of the pavement  while looking similar also dont need to be identical, my comment here would be that because they have moved slightly and the position of the camera has moved it looks slightly off, not off enough to look like its ment to be, but just about enough to be noticed.

 Here i wanted to change from the idea of an identical repetition, instead using one image of the bunch of flowers to be the 'loveme' as if to say the flowers were recieved as a sign of affection. while the second image is a contrast in a sence that the first image had a range of colours and textures and looks rather busy and the second image is just a small pile of crushed up dry leaves, to suggest the death of the flower and to show the section of the 'loves me not'
 Here i wanted the images to be similar with a slight difference, the 'loves you' part are the petals and leaves from the rose as they were alive, while the second part contrasts that as the dead dried leaves and petals. It shows a contrast while still being related together. the fact that the images are not 100% identical in focal length doesnt really matter here as the images are of different objects.
Finally this image was more just a play with the idea, using the dead leaves still to repesent the 'loves me not' selection with the heart suggesting love made from the leaves of a big daisy (typically the flower used for this) 

As  i stated before, theses images while not the best do work rather well as multiple images, it does make me think that i'm not really making the statement. I need to think of creating a less obvious way to show this. Its not really what i would view as a good representation as its rather literal, unless i look at the idea of giving of flowers?
