Heya Gavin, welcome to ThePhotoForum.

The first one was taken from an interesting point of view (pov) !!! That's why I like it. Depth of field (DOF) is also pleasant.

The yellow flower in the last could do with a tad more sharpness, I think.

thanks for the reply

As for the last flower, do you mean more focus on the flower to the left or the main in focus flower (right one) oh, and thanks for the pov thing, but I'm pretty familiar with the terms. Before I got my camera i did lots of research and along the way i picked up most of the terms, but thanks though

very good. that last one needs a little bit of work how ever, yellows are blown out a bit.

Very nice. The second shot is one of the nicest flower shots I've seen in a while.

You took all of these with the tamron 28-300 lens?

yep, all of them with my 28-300mm tamron, it's the only lens I have. It does have a macro on it though, the closest I can get is about 1/2 meter. and thanks for the great comments.

I was thinking about getting the same lens for my D40 when I get it and I think you just reassured me that its a good choice.

the only thing i don't like much about it is the autofocus. it sometimes seems like it's a bit inconsistent and doesn't focus perfectly and sometimes it does. it seems like sometimes my manual focus is better, especially with macros. but overall for the price it's well worth it. i almost think it should cost more.
