May I make a suggestion. On your first picture, the leftmost leaf is out of focus; this was probably not intended. The small depth of field using a 90mm lens surprised me at first, and the engraved DOF scale on the lens is practically useless at short distances. Photographing flowers, I found that one petal would be sharp and another fuzzy. My PDA has a DOF application and I found that for close ups f/8 gave me a few inches DOF, adequate to insure a sharp flower and still throwing the background out of focus.
