lulz at the fly. His name is Steeeeve !!!. Other than that the centered subjects take away from the shots. The one with the most potential is the blade of grass in an abstract simple artsy fartsy hoity toity kinda way. Or blade of whatever now that I look at it again.

Good things: great subjects and exposure was well done

"bad" things: some seemed to be out of focus, and the subject was placed in the center of the frame
I like them

I'm gonna agree here. In addition you can make #1 and #4 much more visually appealing just by changing the angle of the shot. Get lower to the ground perhaps... Shooting down on flowers makes the shot boring, to me at least. In the last shot you did just that, although your subject is the bee, the shot is at a much more appealing angle.

try focus on the rule of thrids when composing the photo & have the subject offset to create some more interest.
the depth of feild is nice, but i think the colors might also need a little work

Second one is really neat. Is it just me or do they seem a little out of focus or a tiny bit blurry?

Wow the fly is AWESOME!!!!

I also really like the dandelion, but would have prefered a shallower DoF

First pic I can't find the point of focus on it...
I also really like the grass picture, very catchy imo

The wasp needs a little more light on the subject imo.... for my taste...
Good job though, very well done

Thanks for all the feedback everyone!
I will take all critique and tips into consideration, next time I shoot.
I am thinking of going for a walk at sunset tonight.
Take Care,
