Great work for a "kit lens". Shows just what can be done with effort and practice. Congrats on HM.
I agree it seems over sharpened especially on the purples or maybe just low res JPG where sharpening has begun banding. The blue CA fringe above the bottom left horizontal flower is quite noticeable (to me).

Nice macro. The flowers look a little oversharpened; however, the butterfly looks great. (voted earlier)
