yes if will help , looking for tips and advice how to get better I have the camera but maybe not the technique thanks

I hope to see more of your work.

Perhaps an ISO higher than 100 would have been helpful.

In the image of the butterfly, the point of focus appears to be on either the antennae or the portion of the flower that's closest to the camera. Although the aperture is f/8, the butterfly's wings are too out of focus for my taste. Perhaps a higher ISO would have allowed you to achieve greater apparent depth of field.

I'd like to see a version of the top image which is at least slightly brighter and perhaps considerably brighter.

Best wishes,
Stu

thanks for that (smf)I've posted ND question you might be good enough to look at that for me thanks

You are most welcome.

I like the brighter version of the image, as posted in the General Photography area.

I think other photographers gave you excellent suggestions in that thread.

Best wishes, and I look forward to seeing more of your images.
