Thank you all. This is a learning experience for me. I've cropped a bit at the top, Marc - made the image a bit smaller but I think it still is OK.

I really appreciate all the wonderful feedback and encouragement.

One of the best pictures i've seen from you Brenda. Maybe just a slight crop from the top (slight) would make it perfect. Really good ! You're making progress everytime, and it shows. Keep it up !

Excellent composition Brenda. Love the detail specially the lone bee or fly on the left most image. I really like the almost B&W quality of the whole image. Well Done!

Good exposition here. The sky is bright, but not burned out and good details in the shadows. Composition is fine too. Like it.

I think it really make the composition that the close by flowers are seen totally - very clear graphic. The flat sky really sets them off. How did you get so low - aren't they just 7-8 inches off the ground? Good stuff Brenda!

I really like this one Brenda very nice high contrast shot.

Thanks for the lovely comments, my friends - much appreciated.

Rich - yes, the E-510 has live view. But I had to get down on the ground for this shot and without an articulating LCD screen, some of the composition was calculated guesswork.

Super graphic image, the viewpoint here is perfect

This is a very good shot Brenda! I could see this hanging on a wall easy! Look at that little tiny fly on the far left seed head. They remind me of fireworks during the day. :o)

I like this Brenda, does the 510 have the live view feature?
