I love flower photos! But I'm also new to photography so I can't help you much.

I assume there can be some improvements ? I was hoping to get some feedback on how to make these better.

I think these are fine. If anything, I'd have tried to go a little higher on #1 in order to get another angle on the bee. Maybe followed up #2 with a closer shot, again, because of the bee.

The purple coneflower looks oddly dark, as if not enough light. However, the bee on top looks to be in good light so I don't have any idea why it would look underexposed.

The sunflower is nice, and the only downside is the dark plants hogging the space. They do tend to set off the sunflower bloom, so good!

The zinnias are very good, in spite of the shallow DOF. The composition naturally keeps the eye moving, from the ones in focus to the OOF ones and back again.

So nope, I can't think of any way to make them better.
