Busy background is what I hate. Thoughts?

Too much background is what I think. I see more of that than the actual subject. I think it would have been better if you did a macro of a bead of water on one of the leaf's edges.

Ya, iunno.. I tried cropping it, but the sharpness suffers and there are still distractions. I'd re-shoot it.

I enjoy negative space but it almost seems like its pushing it on this image. Have you tried a square crop? take out a little of the top and part of the left?

That's a good idea, I'll see what I can do.

Heh, I see what you mean. The focus is off enough that it is annoying.

Yep, I'm a big fan of lotsa negative space, the more the merrier. I don't really have much of a brain for cropping though. But that's a good idea.

I think the problem with this one is that it is gross. I couldn't see what I was shooting, because it was too low to the ground, so I just had to shoot and hope for the best. This one failed.

This is a frequent problem for me when taking photos of low-to-the-ground subjects, which I frequently shoot. I squat, kneel, sit, sprawl if necessary, or lie down, but it's hard on my body; I have a bad disc in my back and some facet joint issues, so it can get rather painful to manoeuvre that low. For this reason, my next camera will probably have live-view and a tilt screen.
