First seems to need more DOF, but others are good. In particular, I like the third.

While not a true macro lens, I have been impressed with the close-up capability of the kit lens. You'll see improved sharpness and better DOF if you can find enough light to stop down to f/8 or more.

Really like the third one. Too many people write off the kit lens. Shows you what it (and a photographer) can really do. Very nice!
