Watch those hightlights, you've completely lost detail right in the center. Always expose for the highlights and then bring the shadows back in post processing. You can't bring back a highlight because the camera has no information to begin with.

4 - Nice concept. A litlte more detail discernable and variation in lighting (especially to reduce the blown areas), make this better in my opinion.

Too macro... I think this might benefit from a bit more distance.

Gorgeous colors and interesting DOF. Looks more pink than purple to me though so I'm not sure how well it fits complementary...
