These were taken with 55-250 lens with front and back of the cheap $10.00 extension tubes. Give a critique of what I can do with what I working with. I had to shade some sun from them to keep them from blowing out the whites. I used a tripod and about 30 inches away. The wind made it hard to get a good focus.

I don't see any wind movement, but I do see too many areas out of focus. Especially the second photo, where only the lower petal is sharp.The wind made it hard to get a good focus.
Using a zoom lens built for tele-photography, is not the best choice for macro-photography.
