Tina, I think shutter speed and shallow DoF are hurting your efforts on 
some of these.  Regardless of the old rule of thumb, I would suggest you 
try to use 1/200 with this lens.  I feel that the sharpest image you 
showed is the feather with water droplets, which shows 1/160 at f/5.6.  
That seems to be a sweet spot.
