Although #4 has its good points, the leaf is in focus but the flowers not. Neither are the flowers in focus in #3, but the zucchini, a key part of the photo, is. I go with #3. BTW, you might look at info on depth of field (DOF), so you are more likely to get everything you want in or out of focus.
I'm always questioning my DOF. I had one instructor that mentioned focusing on one thing and I hear feedback in local paper about specific focus. But I too tend to like a greater DOF to include many things or to include more than a small part of the picture (depending on the subject). Thanks for your feedback. These are things I've been trying to weigh. I'll wait for more feedback but maybe they just aren't good enough. The competition is really high.
