    Meadowlark Gardens
    I managed to get some time to play around with my camera. Someone also accused me of stalking the local wildlife, after reviewing my shots I am guilty as charged. All feedback is appreciated. Thank you!

    I also got a shot of a Blue Heron, a beautiful purple flower, and a nifty looking catepillar. Those images can be viewed here:http://s227.photobucket.com/albums/d...ark%20Aug%203/

    Great set of photos!

    I really love the colours in them and I only have one nitpick which is with the first one. I feel the tops of the flowers should not stop in the middle of the photo. I want to say crop some sky out, but it might detract from the image.

    Otherwise, a great job :thumbsup:

    I think you might be right about the cropping, I will give it a shot and repost.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I like these . I think a crop off the top of the landscape would work. A tighter crop averall on the dragonfly would help also. The ladybug should be sharper, and cropping some of the dark area off the left would improve.
    Nice set of images.

    The first isn't doing anything for me but the second is very good and the ladybug is awesome with that blue.
    Good stuff!

    Thanks to everyone for all the feedback, it truly helps me improve my skills. As suggested I cropped the Landscape photo, please let me know what you think.
