First try at Macro with camera fresh out the box. Critique Hard please!? I know I'm on that beginner level striving for better.

Those aren't really macros. More just close ups.

can you explain macros to me then? or guide me in the right directions to how to achieve macros? Basically I read understanding exposure and thought bokeh was an interesting effect that I wanted to try and alos looked up macro which I misunderstood apparently.
