My Backyard Pics C&C

[davioware]

Hey guys. I'm a complete novice to photography, and i just started out with my dad's EOS 20D. Lately I've had the urge to go outside into my yard and try to capture nature in all it's detailed glory. I would appreciate some C&C

I can't see the photos.

Okay, now I see them. Is #1 photoshopped? The colors look "extreme." I mean the colors are beautiful, but it looks "hyperreal." I like the wasps, but a faster shutter would have really frozen the action and sharpened the edges.

None are photoshopped actually. I was surprised that the colors came out so vididly, which was one of the reasons i posted it. Thanks for the reply.
