So pretty, the contrast between the colour of the flower and the grey sky is beautiful

Excellent light and I like much about that 'storm is coming' mood.

Yeah it was pretty cool feeling outside, you could feel the tension... the picture really captured it much better than I thought it would.

i really like this one, i think it might be better if you shot from lower looking up so theres less distracting stuff on the bottom
also, do you have a polarizer and a uv filter yet? if you dont you really must get them, they help immensely with glare in the sky and water you'll notice a huge difference immediately
very nice shot

well thanks for your input anyways, ive been talking to everyone i can to figure out what I need for the photography I would like to do, a set up for macro and all the photography I do now, gonna experiment with more moving water shots and flash photography with multiple exposures, not sure I can do it with my camera though..

well basically as long as you have a slr preferably digital than you should be okay, because you'll be able to switch lens, add filters, and all those other cool things
