Your three flower images are really nice. The compositions and general lighting work well. In this one I can see some very faint shadow detail in the background which I find distracting. I would probably just darken the background so that it goes completely black. There's no reason not to.
I can also see some noise in the shadow areas of the flower. I am wondering what ISO you shot these at. If you were using an auto mode the camera may have chosen a high ISO setting. I don't know the details of how you shot these, but I would shoot them with a tripod with a low ISO and a slow shutter speed. If you did that, I think they should be smoother and richer.
Tell us more about how you shot these, please. Now I'm curious.

Thank you John, it is flattering to get an 8 rating! I'm afraid the background is the fridge door, the picture was taken between the main course and coffee one evening with just the tablelamp above the flower. A simple spur of the moment point and shoot picture!
