Hey bichio,
Cool photos! I do have some suggestions for you. #1 is my favorite of the bunch, but the white balance seems really off in this one. There's a cool/magenta hue on the photo, so a little adjustment in photoshop would fix that.

#2 is cool but it is way underexposed. Another adjustment that can be made in photoshop, but best done in camera when taking the photo. What mode are you shooting in? Manual, auto, av tv...?

#3. This one is pretty cool but the light is really harsh on it. It helps to have some sort of diffuser between the sun and the subject, but that usually requires another person there to hold it for you.

#4 & 5. These are my least two favorites, they are both pretty soft. It may be your focus on the 4, or it may just be the bug moving and your shutter speed being too slow. It looks like on 5 you may have zoomed way in to the image after it was on your computer. It looks like you are at 100% and that's generally not that flattering in any images.

#6 is nice. Nice frame up and lighting.

My $.02

Keep shooting!

Just my opinions.

I agree with above,

#1 has some kind of blue casting unless this is what the wasp looks like. Bit tight on cropping.
#2 Ah, same bug but no blue! This one is dark and may be problem bringing it up if not shot in raw. Use gamma curve with rise at low end to see if you can bring the darks up (but you will probably have to sacrifice some mid-tone contrast in the end which will hurt the flower).
#3 Too busy, the bee is not best posture (top-down'ish). Direct sunlight makes for harsh images.
#4 Better posture for the bee and less clutter but bee is out of focus (or motion blur?).
#5 Good background, good pose, good lighting but the fly is out of focus (motion blur?).
#6 Good composition, focus, DOF, background. Interesting subject coloration. Best of the set.

All of my snapshots are set to AWB and M function. I have no tripod hence some pictures are soft. Thanks so much for your comments in very details. I love it.

I just joined this forum and very appreciate the comments absolutely useful in technical details. Thanks so so much.
It is not motion blur but my issue during shooting; I understood now and will practice more.
Thanks about the posture of the subject, I also will pay attention on it in my next shots.
Kind regards.
