They are all good. #1 is great, good choice of background, perfect exposure. My crticism? Crop a little from the right to lose the brown object. Use your clone tool to touch in all the remaining areas to get a matching black across the background.
That's my garden gnome you want me to crop out!! He'll be offended. lol. The back ground was black steel security mesh. Didn't reflect but did let a bit of the window reflection thru. It was a spontaneous set of pic's. I saw this seed thing ready to go in the wind & stayed intact when I plucked it. I grabbed the camera & experimented. These were the best tho not Nat Geo standard. They tell the story to me. The outer parts are their means to scatter on thee wind [sails] & the inner seed clump on the end of the shaft. Fascinating structure when you analyse it. Made by mother nature.
