I posted this in the Macro section, but I think that section is just for everyone to say "lovely series" "brilliant series" stuff like that :) I'm hoping to get some feedback here.

my first attempt with my real camera..what do you think?

JLew24asu,
The first thing I noticed is the white balance seems off.
Looks like it was taken with a Nikon D80 and Sigma 105? ???

JLew24asu,
Back to the point..., maybe try setting your white balance manually as the Exif says it was on Auto, (or it can be corrected in your CS4 software).
