Too much to explain in one thread!
You need to read up on composition as much as macro. Macro is a bit vague in its meaning. Macro on a zoom lens means it can focus closer than normal. A proper bought for purpose macro lens can do at least 1:1 magnification - the image on the sensor is the same size as the object.
You may be making a big picture of something small but it still has to work as an image. Rule of thirds and all that.
Plenty of info on the forum. http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=7761 is a tutorial by Hacker. Note also the composition in the images - how big the subject is and where it is in the frame.
I'm rubbish at photoshop but I've bodged your picture to make more room. What looks good is always a personal thing but it looks a bit better to me
