Your pink bud flower doesn't do much for me. The idea is quite common, and we all have a few similar images tucked away. My main observation about this image is that it has no point of focus.
Your bee image is a good start. DOF is paramount in insect photography, which requires good lighting. DOF appears a bit too narrow here, not carrying wings and eyes as sharp as they should be.
Practice, practice, practice! And if you are shooting at a low ISO, try shooting at 400.
