I like your baby pomegranite, Never seen one in the early stages before.
The honeysuckle looks blown out(over exposed)on the part that looks like the shrimp tail. Maybe try with a higher f number to increase yiur depth of field.
the last picture is sure unique, again the white is over exposed.
What do have for equipment?

I have a Olympus E-P1 Pen & I don't know how to change any of the settings (like changing the f number) other than whats on the dial...LOL...Everything I take is handheld, still need to pick up a tripod/monopod

Dutch if you turn the dial to A you should be able to control the aperture according to what I found about your camera.
S is for shutter speed
Try testing out these modes and see how it works for you.

Wow, Thanks! I have been reading the manual but most seems french to me. I am going to give that a try as soon as the temps drop a little here or my camera & I will melt!

pooterpa76 Thank you! These where extra tough, besides trying to learn how to actually use the settings, he wouldn't keep still and he was inside his cage (I need to clip his wings again), I didn't want the cage in the picture so I was trying to shoot between the cage bars.

Hi Dutchbug, while everyone is talking f-stop and/or shutter speed, id like to concentrate on the overall shots of the first 3.
i do feel you should, by using the rule of thirds, home in on the flower and not the background....bring the flowers forward. Fill most of the frame with flower. If the flower is tall, try using a vertical. if the flower is horizontal, well it speaks for itself. But, concentrate on getting in closer to the flower itself. your parrot shots are much much better.

Rich, thanks for the great advice! I was trying to focus on the flowers but the camera keep focusing on what it wanted to..by choosing what ever was closer or what it wanted to but now I have figured out how to turn that off. The flowers were taken in the macro mode of my camera with my parrot I went to my "A" "S" & played with the setting and then shot them in the "P" while playing with the settings. I have always just used the "Macro", "Sports" "Landscape" ect in my camera was was always afraid to play with the settings...but I must learn...
