All the images seem dark. Look at changing the sharpness and contrast defaults.

The focus is not crisp either. The DOF in 1 and 2 are not great, open that appeture up.

I don't really like #1 & 2, not much to look at. #3 & 4 both have possibilities, but if you want sharp photos in low light, especially at longer focal lengths, you are going to have to get a tripod and get used to using it. When you use the tripod, you can use the 2 sec. timer and you will be amazed at how sharp and clear your photos can be.

Keep after it!

I believe David meant to say, " ...close that aperture down." A higher f # will increase the Depth of Field, increases the focus and sharpness. It closes the opening in the lens down.

Excessive contrat used in #1 and 2.
Unclear subject matter in each frame.
#3 isn't bad but would have been better composed with subject at the right side of the frame, since the flower faces to the left. The imperfection at the bottom of the flower is too obvious in the image. #4 is highly oversaturated and ordinarily farmed.
