my pick : 3 & 4
I like the way how silky smooth your pictures turned out
perhaps in future, you might want to experiment with different composition techniques

Take for instance the rule of thirds, you might hear this saying over and over again.
But then, I think it's the basic rule that makes your picture more appealing, although you can bend or break it once in a while to portray a different feel ...

Also, try to shoot the insect from a different angle, for eg. a 45 deg angle frontal shot

thanks Jayson and Caicaizi.
I had tried to take frontal shots before but had always lost out to DOF. Still learning to get around this problem.Thanks again.

try bigger f.stop like f11 and bigger. that may help. But of course you have to take care of the BG as well.
