Here is my honest review. Only the second image is any good, but you could have moved in closer and gotten more of the flower in.

In the first and third image the camera had its own ideas on where to focus. Three possible remedies: look at the autofocus indication, change the AF to use the center of the image or use manual focus.

The fourth one suffers from very bad camera shake - the EXIF data shows that it was taken at 1/6 second. SR is pretty good but it cannot deal with this.The EXIF for the other frames show 1/25 or 1/40 second, pushing the limits but it works.

All the exposures show quite wide apertures - f/4 or wider. In macro work, your depth of field is very limited. You will get better results at f/11 and up. For this to work you will have to increase the ISO or get the tripod out. Then again, a smaller aperture will give a different look to the background and that might not be what you want. The way to find out is to try all sorts of combinations.
