in #4 the background is way too cluttered. As Ken suggested, out of focus would be better. In #3, it is either too much or too little. Are you trying to capture a group of flowers? Then you have too little depth of field, a bunch of out of focus flowery things hanging around the central blossom instead of a cluster of discernible blossoms. Are you shooting for the single blossom? You still have a bunch of out of focus flowery things hanging around the central blossom. This could be salvaged by cropping down to about the right central 10% of the image that shows the central detail on the central blossom. In #2 it is a focus problem again - the flower on the left is too out of focus to be in the shot but too in focus to be ignored. #1 seems to be the best compromise though the main subject is moving and/or a bit out of focus itself. But I think I would most prefer a tight crop on #3.
