I love the compostion of the 2nd one as it makes you think a bit. Liking the tree shot as well :afro: a definite improvement, seems like you're thinking about composition a bit more :smiley:

I did enjoy taking these.............the ones of the Deer were taken around 6 weeks ago at a factory, so I would like to think I've come on a bit since then.

You seem to be getting the nack for it dude, starting to get some strong base images. The reason I say base images is that I suggest you start to edit your pics rather than post straight from camera. This will not only make them look better but will make you think more about why which shots work and which shots don't and more importantly, why this is the case?
Say this shot for example,

Something about this plant has caught your eye? So edit it to highlight this, if it was the colour try make it stand out from its surroundings, if it was the form perhaps use a slightly blurred outline to bring this out more. Hope this makes sense :smiley:

this appear to be shot from eye level, get some real low shots or high if poss to draw people into the picture.
your photography is crying out for a dslr!

This.
I think you'e being restricted by your camera. A DSLR will open up a whole new game and I think you'll really benefit from the Auto Focus points so you can see where it's focusing.

Just by way of comparison, here's your shot and then a similar one by myself after it.

My DSLR is nothing fancy, it cost me £200 and I used a £75 lens (both secondhand). But this is the sort of improvement you could make with switching to a better camera.
And if you can't afford that at the moment, start saving and while you do that start playing around with composing your shots and learning how to do simple edits on them in Photoshop or Gimp or you could use the free online editor at Pixlr.com (http://www.pixlr.com)
You seem to be enjoying taking the photos, so just keep practicing.
