Wow, those are really beautiful photos. I especially like the second one, with the lady bug. I don't think the last one is all that bad - it's just as good as the others.

I've tried to take nature photos, but they don't turn out very good at all. :P

Those are very nice. Even though I hate ladybugs, I think the second one is my favourite.

The purple in the first one is...very beautiful, its a nice capture of nature :-D

It's impressive you got those bugs to be so still, ha ha ha. And, the last one would have turned out better if it was shot at a different angle, you know?

You really should be pleased with these, they are very good. The third one is probably my favorite/the best in my oppinion.
The only critique I can really give to tell to always remember your composition concepts: KISS-Keep It Simple Stupid, beware of busyness and be mindful of both positive and negative space. That, and always be aware of where your light source is/the lighitng you have.

With practice these'll be even better.

Thanks for the tips but when you are leaning over 4 foot of bramble with a camera at arms length on a hot summers day its kind of hard to get an angle at all lol. (j/k)

The last one lacked focus yet - a little cropping wouldn't go amiss I don't think!

Those are all really good. I actually like the last one, because it has the butterfly and a fly tot he right of it. All of these photos could do with some cropping though, just to take the less interesting parts out that aren't doing anything for the photo. Like the last one, I would take part of the left side off and crop it into a vertical photo. Just a suggestion. Great photos though. :D Keep it up!
