Been photographing for a few months, what do you think?
Aside from the spot lighting that blew out a few places, of course.

Background looks a bit busy on a few,
but I'm not really a good judge of the technical aspects of close-up stuff.

Or anything at all, really.

I'm certainly no pro, but here's my humble opinion.

1) I don't really like the leaves in the foreground. It seems to draw the focus away from the flower. Overall, I like the colors (but I'm easily amused..hehe)
2) With the way the leaves are on the left side, it looks like the angry RAWR plant from Mario Bros. The background draws the eye away from the main focus, but overall, it's a good shot
3) The bottom-right-most flower seems very blurred, but this is definitely a better shot for the flowers. It seems like there's too much "sky," if you will (too much on the top of the image). It also tends to draw your eye away from the flower. Overall, it's a good shot.

haha it totally does!

Also,
looks like you missed the focus on the last one, you hit the leaves, more than the actual flowers.
I think.

All of those photos have really busy background. Try to use the largest Aperture you can and blur the rest of the background out to focus on your subject. There is not real focus point for any of us to really focus on.
