I kinda like #1 but the sky is a bit too blue (over saturated) for my taiste.
#2 reminds me of a greeting card. Did you use some sort of diffusion?

 

[keene]

i shot in raw jpeg and i had my uv lens connected

 

[keene]

you think the sky was too blue in the picture

Your White Balance is off in Picture #1, and just off the scale in Pic#2. No real need to CC any further till you can control and understand the basics of exposure.

i had the white balance set to suto i think i need to turn it off when doig outside shots

Look at photo number 2 yourself. Are the blooms almost white on your monitor? Hold a piece of white paper up for comparison. I have a suspicion your monitor is way out of calibration because all of your shots have a very heavy cyan tint.

monitor shouldnt be its a brand new computer

 

[keene]

that cyna tint might be from the uv lens its kind of darker then i use on my film camera

My laptop is brand new too and it was WAY off. I did a basic windows calibrations on it and it was better - at least until I prioritize and pay for a calibration tool. Try this link... Calibrate your display Assuming you are using windows of course.

No such thing as a raw jpeg.....you either shot it in jpeg or raw format. Colors look off on my screen as well (Mac).
I like that first shot, just needs a little warmth

Let me know if it helps. I struggle with how colors look from my laptop to my desktop, and even from windows live to facebook.
