@1: the bulky trunk that swallows 3/4th of the frame is problematic here; the eyes leads to the palm leaves which are out of focus too; your experimentation is appreciated and it is such experimentations that sometimes bring out wonderful results; so please continue....
@2: If they were facing one another, composition would have been better
@3: Petals are a bit over exposed; better keep flower to one side; you can even trim out some surrounding area too
