Good Morning Greg. This is a tough one to critique. You set your camera for two main things, movement and DOF. You might have opened up your lens to f/11 and therefore been able to lower the ISO as mentioned. I think you did right to try and keep your shutter speed as close to 1/500 as possible because of bending over and the addition of any breeze.
I took your picture and added a high pass filter. Settings at 3.0 and making the layer Vivid Light. What a great results, the detail that came out was astonishing and the picture now has a 3D look to it. I will post if you wish. I did this to the second picture with the bee.

I also like the second one more than the first. They seem just a little out of focus to me but other than that they are good....Rich

Nice images hand held.
Try matching length of lens with shutter speed. IE: 180mm with 1/200

Thank you, Timm for your comment. I agree with your comment about matching length and shutter speed and always attempt to have the relationship or more shutter speed. In these photos I believe I over did it.

Thank you, Rich. I believe I am getting more education with these photos than any of my bird photos. Totally different form of photography and I need to realize it. Thanks again, Rich.

Thank you, Doc. It has been real hot in NC the last two days. We can maybe break 100* and we are in a heat advisory. Already 90* and high humidity.
