Bud, bee and flowers... late October finds

[Daysleeper40]

These were all taken the weekend before last and I was pleasantly surprised to find all of them given the time of year! C&C always welcome - I am very out of practice with the macro stuff so all feedback is welcome. Taken with my Nikon d7000 and 90mm Tamron macro lens.

Thanks for looking

Really like the first and last. The second is bit noisy but I totally understand if you had to pump up the ISO

All look a little dark to me, though this may be a Nikon thing as @Graham tends to underexpose too.

#3 could have done without the extra flower bud in background and I would tend to clone it out and but both foreground ones in a third.

#1 is the best of the bunch but could do with some more POP.
