Well done with these.
The colours pop out reasonably well and the images are decently sharp.
Fist one's quite high key having all the highlights close to or actually being clipped to preserve the detail of the bee, though the highlights do distract me a little from the subject.
Second one's also OK though has those distracting elements of the grass blade and other flower in the right side - without these, the subjects would stand out a lot bolder. It's the old photographic adage - a photo should contain a subject, a background, and no more.

Keep shooting!

Thanks Ash,would a faster shutter speed in image 1 have helped with the highlights?
I have a problem with composition (ala image 2),I've still got a P&S head on rather than spending a second or 2 thinking about what I want to achieve.I might write in on my hand.
