A few pics from the new toy

Hey everyone,

I took these yesterday. They are my first serious attempts with my new D50. I'd like any feedback from anyone. I like

the photos but I'm not sure if I could do more compositionally or otherwise to make them better in the future.

Hey M, congrats on your new toy. I'm no flower critic, but I think they look prety darned good. The shallow DOF really makes the flowers show up in the first two. You could probably sharpen the first one a bit in post processing. Keep them coming.

These are nice. Very pretty. They seem just a bit underexposed, but not by much. The lighting is the best in No. 2, IMO.

Keep shooting, and keep showing us.
