and feel free to edit the pics if you would like. Thanks for taking the time and looking them over.

I like the small depth of field, really makes your focus on the flowers. You are also getting very good sharp detail and color in the first two images.

On the first image I would maybe try shooting that type of flower from a different angle or closer up.

thank you for the reply I have learned already that I need to take multiple shots and not just one. I thought that i had a good picture until i put on the pc and it didn't look right.

Number 2 seems maybe a tad underexposed, but otherwise nice use of DOF.

would you be able to tell me what underexposed means i am totally new to this never took any classes or had anyone in my family into photography. THanks for helping this noob out

Basically, it means that it seems that that pic is a bit on the dark side, so maybe it would've benefited from either a longer shutter speed or maybe a little levels adjustment in post-processing. Of course, it might just also be the crappy monitor on my laptop, so take that advice with a grain of salt.

thank you for the help like i say i am totally new to this and all this technical jargon is a little overwhelming at times
