I was mucking around and took these today in my garden :)

Good start! Keep at it!

Thanks photosguy, is there anything that I could be doing differently?

I would like honest opinions on what I am doing right or wrong!

(You really should post these, one at a time, in "Critique". Include the EXIF data, too.)
#1 I'd crop the sides a bit more.
#2 Same. I liked where you focused, but a smaller f-stop would give more DOF so that area was sharper.
#3 needs to be brighter & you could do without the streak in the background.
#4 Nothing seems to be sharp. See #2.

Nice photos, I like the first best. Do you know what plant is in Number 4.

Thanks for that info PhotosGuy, I can see what you are saying. I will practice with the DOF, haven't played much with that yet.

Bluetit, the flower is from an Australian grasstree (blackboy), it's the female flower. Here is a picture of one but this one is not flowering :)
