Like #3 the best Denise - background doesn't distract from the flower.

I think the position in the frame of the third one helps it as the first one has that edge chopped off and the second one has the more distracting highlights around it. The colours are all good though, it's a shame you couldn't have got a bit more light on the second one though.

A macro lens will enable you to get a lot closer which I think would improve the shots. Maybe you could try a screw on filter/diopter which will allow you to get closer and still be fairly budget friendly.

Getting in close allows you to fill the frame with the colour and intricate detail of the flower

For such a camera, that's good work. You could improve sharpness with a tripod, or resting the camera on something and using the timer, so there's no wobble when you push the button. Though, the last one is the sharpest. Let me know how you go.
