They are all good I think, but I have no photography experience. I like the 1st and last one the most.

Thanks

I can't see the images anymore.
So I'm re posting

I'm not a pro, but macro is what I usually do best so I'll try to help you a little...

What camera did you use ?
Does it have manual focus or auto focus?
Did you really have the macro function on in the first 2 pictures?

What you want in macro is to get closer to the subject and get a shallower dept of field..
That means, you only want a small portion to be in focus, and the rest will be blurred.

If you have a camera with auto focus, you have to work a little harder to get it to where you want.

Like in the 2nd and 3rd pictures, the focus is on the leaves, you want it on the flower..

In the first picture, the focus looks fine, but you want the background more blurred, that is where the DoF comes in action.
Get a higher speed or smaller F number to achieve that..

Let me know if I'm not making much sense.. we have pros here who can explain better

And welcome to the photography forum

Well, I use a little Canon Powershot 570 IS and it has auto focus as well.
I put the settings on macro, and the priority on shutter speed and max it to get the highest speed before you have not enough light.. that usually gives you the smallest F number available for your camera lense.
For the focus, you have to play a lot with it to get your little green square on the spot you want focus.
Sometimes it may take many many tries...

This is one picture I took with my little cheap camera on the macro function:

you've gotten so much better with macro!
