Very obvious. Are you wanting them to be more defined for body building, or just because?0

I'm not sure that you can get them much more defined than that. I think that the appearance of having chiseled abs is usually a function of low body fat content and then muscle tone. If you don't have the low fat content then all the crunches in the world won't make a difference. I wouldn't recommend trying to go any leaner since your abs are already popping. Not sure what kind of exercises you do for them, but I might recommend working the obliques. I like to hang from a pull-up bar and lift my knees up while twisting to touch them to the opposite elbow. You're abs look amazing though.0

Hydration will make a difference - more dehydrated will give more definition. Unfortunately, this not good for health, is only a short term option and, assuming that these pictured were taken 1st thing in the morning (?), your already dehydrated.
Aesthetics are a personal choice but my guess from these pictures is that you are already (%BF wise) "healthy" but to improve visibility further you will need to lower BF. Which means calorific deficit.

For more definition: lose more bodyfat and train them with heavy weights. Many people forget that abs are muscles and require hypertrophy to grow!!0
