Gotcha my southern Canadian friend.
Thanks everyone, Musket, Oddjobber, Shooter and the others for a pretty good job of explaining it to me.
Just wanted to ask everyone is would it be worth it or beneficial to put a tel converter like a 1.5x or 2x on my Nikon AF-S VR Nikkor 70-300mm 1:4.4-5.6G. I have a Nikon D7000. This is to shoot wildlife and object out in the open not in trees or deep woods. What would I have to do if I did put on the lens. I know I'll lose light, how do you fix that problem lower the speed or raise ISO. THANKS FOR ANY ADVICE

Now with all that all out of the way. Lets see what you can come up with that is an improvement. It doesn't need to be perfect, just better.
Thanks everyone for all the responses I got on both of my photos the good and the bad ones. I will cont. to try and improve in my technique and ask for more advice from y'all (I'm from the south). I also want to apologize for one of my responses I gave that came out of a response I got on a photo I posted. It was wrong and it was based on emotion. I hope my apology is taken in full. Sincerely, Nederob1. (DeWayne) Tthanks again

It doesnt stand out to me. Theres no real emotional response here for me. Massive dof ruins it for me. I think I would have shot this on a table, straight on, with a different lens. 50mm at f2. The thinner depth of field could have added a bit more drama.
To me its just a pet snapshot.
Thanks Musket for your comments. But what do you mean emotional response ? Me giving an emotional response on my photo or sending an emotional response in the photo ? The pic Emily, I guess what I was wondering was if the exposure part of the photo was right and didn't think about asking for comments about that particular thing or anything else from the photo. I get it now. And can you explain a little more about the dof like to much and making it thinner. Thanks Nederob1

I think this is a pleasing image. I do agree that a different crop may make it more so.. The stem on the left is distracting and has no purpose. Now if you had included the top of that stem, assuming it connects to the flower it would have added to the image and I would have kept it. I think brightening the flower and dodging down the bright light behind it would help. Being a thumbnail and not the original I really can't tell how sharp the focus is, do for a complete critique you would need check store original so it can be downloaded.

Ok, Thanks Country's Mama now that's some advice I can learn from.
Thanks Chuck and Country, I'm very perplexed about this. I just don't get people on forums like this one and others alike who rants about people who are really trying to get advice from people who have done this for a while and have a lot more experience than the one who posts the picture. I realize there are people that just wants to post pictures just to post them but I and others really put the pictures on the site to get REAL critiques on the photo, about lighting or seeing the eyes or whatever, something that they can run with and improve on. I am a real newbie to photography and I like it (I always have) and I am "really" trying to get some sincere advice from experienced photographers. You really can learn "believe it or not" from people with years of experience, I know I've been doing my job for 37 yrs and I know what I can do and I know I can give down to earth advice to Newbies instead of a belittling. How are people going learn and get better at photography or something else other than going to school where you just learn basics and not real world problems, unless you get it from people who are in the know. Well; I think could get something good or bad out of a response that I read if it had something in it other than just negativity. If people for some reason who might think they'er on a higher level than others come down to earth everyone would be in a better place. We are all the same in God's eyes. That's Enough Nederob1
