Here's some thoughts - please take them with a grain of salt and not personally - just trying to say what I honestly think, which is what I hope others do with my photos.
First of all they're all good shots.
#1 - I don't care for the background. It either looks like something natural with a lot of digital noise or a wall. I think that something smoothly blurred and more natural colored would work better.
I'm also not too keen on the "upside down at an angle" perspective. I know this is how they hang, but as a picture it's somehow not "comfortable" to look at for a while.
#2 - My favorite. Only nit picks here would be the bright vertical line along the right hand side - ideally that would be there. Also looking at the upper left lot of noise / grain. If it was shot digitally I'd run it through a noise reducer.
#3 Butterfly is nice, but as a photograph I can't get past the harsh shadows and a wall.

...appealing shots!
A little Gaussian blur on the background and a touch of contrast enhancement on the subject would make the butterflies standout better without loosing that soft look. Pains taking masking...I know.
