Hi there and WELCOME to DPS.
These are lovely first shots. I don't know why it has taken so long for a response, but sometimes the forum moves so fast, some posts are lost. Hopefully this won't happen again to you.

They are indeed very good. The lighting of the leaf is really interesting.

I've always wanted to try the plain background for shots of plants and flowers. Just never seem to have the paper with me when I'm outside and go "oooh...pretty!"

These are nice shots. Especially the orchids. Good way to see the details that could get washed out from a standard photo with a busy background.
