Looks great

I think one thing that would help a lot but not really necessary is you should turn off the time stamp

Also.. a nice little "shooting flowers tip" Dont shoot down on flowers because usually when people are looking at flowers they look at them by looking down at them. they dont see them from the side or underneath however your going to take it. Just get on your knee or whatever and take a few shots and they will look definitely better! (I'm not implying that yours isn't good )

Anyway looks nice and keep up the good work.

Yeh Abbey you figured it out....

I agree with Will about the time stamp and shooting the flower from the side or bottom....still very good though.
Beautiful sunset shot....love light and reflections on the water....

Default thanks!

thanks for your feedback! Will, i wasn't quite sure what you meant by " people are looking at flowers they look at them by looking down at them. they dont see them from the side or underneath however your going to take it"(not that i don't want to accept the feedback i just wanted to clear up the confusion so i can take better pics!!) could you clarify for me??? thanks again! currently my camera lens is stuck and i don't know how long that could be like that for although i did just figure out how to take the time stamp off but its too late now that its on the pic, but at least it'll be off for future pics!!! thanks so much!
p.s. oh and mountain rider, what did i figure out???

Your welcome

What I meant is that lets say your somewhere where there are flowers. Your walking by them you happen to look at them and you are looking down at them (because you are higher then them) So to add a little spice/feeling to your flower pictures get down next to the flower and take a few cool shots from different angles where you usually do not see them when you are walking by them and you glance at them.

This gives a different perspective of the flowers so its something different then what you usually see

If you dont understand it still, let me know and I'll go out and shoot a few pictures showing what i mean
