I think you need more interesting subject matter, for one. Or, if you could fill the frame with the flower and totally blur out the backround, because it is rather distracting. The way to do that would be use a large apature like 2.8 and a telephoto lens, so the background was just a bunch of soft shapes, or the use of a macro lens focused only on the flowers. Try to fill the frame with the subject, unless the backround adds important info to the pic. Hope that helps.

I think i mighta had it on multi focus that could have eben the reason cause I noticed on my other shots the backround was blurred.

It's hard to see those tiny images you posted. Can you post a more normal size for images for this forum?

I can hardly see much variation in those 4 shots.

Slightly overexposed IMO, some details are burned out, and background is messy, you'll need to work on that. If you find an interesting object, make sure background is clean. A good background can make object stand out, a bad one can ruin the shot.

As for hosting images, try www.smugmug.com, for $29.99 a year, you'll get unlimited storage, plus many many many more great features, check it out for yourself :D and you can have 7 day free trial, use this coupon "LOodC20RqHHVQ" to save yourself $5 if you like what you see :)
