Some pics from this afternoon- Critique plz

[SeanL]

Here are some pics I just took outside after having a light drizzle. It was hard to get enough light on the images because of the darkness outside and I had to up the ISO or add flash on some of these. Please let me know what you think. Any suggestions on how to get better image quality? Taken with a D70 and 18-55 DX Nikkor.

Hey Sean. I don't feel comfortable commenting on images at work, because my monitor makes everything really dark... That being said, I really like the first image. I haven't gotten into flower shots much yet, but I do have that desire. I love the water drops too. I have thought about getting a small spray bottle just to create this affect without having to wait for mother nature to do it. The colors look very nice, even on this monitor. I don't think the green leaf in the bottom right corner adds much to the image tho. I find it a bit distracting.

Another suggestion, would be to limit you threads in critique to one image. I'm sure you will find you get better, and more specific feedback on a single image, than you will with mutliples. Some nice photos here, so keep them coming!

Boy, that top shot is a stunner. Nice work on that one. There are a couple (the second and third) that seem a little soft.
