C&C Pretty please

Playing around with one of my strobes and my macro lens... I'm having a bit of trouble with exposure (I do completely understand it, it just seems I have a bad perception of it when I look at my pictures) also I can't figure out if I should edit my photos with my laptop plugged in or unplugged because the brightness is different. Any help is appreciated! Sorry for the watermark in the first and last image, I didn't feel like uploading another one. I think I would have had a better picture in the last one if I had a higher vantage point.

Very interesting photographs, the third one doesnt do anything for me though. Keep shooting!

Firstly, I think all are great shots. And as you know im a noob, so here are my naive inputs and personal preferences on each.

1. I love the dark colors and curves of the plant. Though the whole center of it going down is far to dark for my tastes and doesn't show off the detail of the stem of the plant well enough

2. Nice macro shot. But the background seems a little plain to me for some reason

3. My favorite of the bunch. Nice colors, sharp details, good use of aperture. Very well done (I think anyways).

4. I have to agree with your opinion on this one and think that a higher vantage point would have done well for it.

#3 is my favorite. With the vertical lines, it is a killer shot!

What plant or flower is number one? The colors are great even if a bit dark.
