I think the treatment suits the pastel palette

Macros certainly don't always need to be sharp, they just need to be good pictures - which these most definitely are.
As always, it depends on the intended use. These would be great for illustrating a poetry book. A botanical reference book would need sharp pictures. For personal use - do whatever you like!!

Who needs sharp when you've got great images? Really like these, lenny.

The first one is very good. It looks like you used a soft focus lens

You've started a new genre: "Macroof"

Awesome, love 'em. I've seen images produced with a similar effect where the starting point was a sharp image and only ends up looking similar to yours after hours, if not days, of editing in post with various effects, filters, presets, tweaks, and LUTs etc.
Well done.
Well done.
