    You've got a great camrea there- way more capable of taking better pictures.  My advice would be take a look at the manual and find the macro mode, this mode enables finer close-up focusing.  Secondly you should learn to adjust the exposure and f-stop (depth of field) manually, if you don't already.  I don't have a Canon myself but read as much as you can- there's a great website for digital photography with a board just for Digital Rebel users, the link is below.  I use the same site for my Sony gear and everyone is very friendly and willing to help.

    Nice shots, but I think you are cabable of better ;)

    They look like they may be a little dim, I would maybe try using a slower shutter speed (1/60th is the lowest without a tripod) / smaller F stop/ or higher ISO. You also might want to try playing with the white balance.

    I think this website is very helpful in explaning some of the different settings:

    Just a little adjusting of the brightness and contrast, and cropping can make a big difference too:
