Default First serious attempt at macro

This little guy stole the show this afternoon but proved to be camera shy, I spent quite awhile chasing him around my tripod before getting these. I would have prefered a more frontal angle but I think over all thier not too bad. These are completely unchanged - they came straight from the camera this way.

I'm curious what you think, is there enough bokeh/too much or should I have backed off a bit to get more background?
