Do your pictures look more interesting to you, or just the fact that you can pp of images is interesting? :) I'm lost here.
You told that you have LR and Photoshop subscription, do you use them?

#1 more details- close aperture more, but keep in mind that the background will be busy as well. Personally I think that the crop should be either tighter, or with more background space.
#2 Nothing wrong with the duck as a subject. It's just the angle which makes the duck boring, and your aperture settings, imo. Also the harsh light can be both: advantage and disadvantage.
#3 I like that shot, it just needs tuning up in LR or Photoshop. Check the macro club, and macro by any means thread here. You can learn about macro, then decide how much efforts to invest in macro. To me your picture is good as close up macro.
#4 Same here, it's nice shot, but need either flash, imo, or post processing.
I took liberty to slightly adjust two of your images in LR. What do you think?

It's not the camera makes them exciting or interesting. :)
But I did not explain my point: I'd like to hear detailed analyses from you, by numbers, WHY you think they are not interesting.

Can you describe what exactly you don't like about your pictures?
By numbers, what's wrong in #1, #2, etc.

If I would start all over the switch from point and shoot do dslr, I would ignore all the books except two of them: The Beginner's Photography Guide and the camera manual.
That's all. Nothing else until getting the clear understanding how it works.
I wish I would know that at the beginning to avoid the mess. https://www.amazon.com/Beginners-Photography-Guide-Chris-Gatcum/dp/1465408452 |

Post a few pictures with EXIF data.
Your transition to DSLR is just right. I was deeply disappointed in my pictures at the beginning.
Nothing wrong either with your camera, or with you. :)
