From what I can tell, they look pretty good. Colors are wonderful. I'm having a problem seeing overall composition because they're so large. You might want to resize them so its easier to view.

The 550 is kind of harsh light for such photographs, at least without a diffuser. You might find a way to soften the light, and maybe give it an angle that isn't directly above.

Thanks for the comments,
will the MT 24EX change a lot the light effect, kind of expensive but I want an advice from someone who has been using both 550EX and the 24EX and tell me if the difference worths the buy.

Love the last shot with the water drops ... the first few look like you may have oversharpened a bit in Photoshop ... otherwise, excellent ...
