Feel free to make any suggestions that might improve them. On all three I used photoshop to crop, change the brightness and contrast slightly and sharpen the image.

interesting way to spend some time, learning and playing with the digital camera.
 
I think you might be a little over-exposed on them but I love the macros.
If you are using Adobe PhotoShop, you might find ultra-sharpen handy. I do.
It is a free program, at least ultra-sharpen lite is and it automaticly sharpens the picture. I use it all the time.
What is the bottom one? A brook? Nice patterns.
 
thanks Royal, yes i think you are right on the exposure, i was using the auto setting, i think i best spend some evenings reading the manual and learning to use it like my old Pentax k1000 with manual control. I'm using an Olympus c4040 zoom the wife and kids got me for my birthday last year, it seems like a lot of camera but i've not really learned to use all its potential.
Yep, thats a trout stream in the foothills here, I had taken my son and his friends out for the day fishing and wandered about snapping shots between giving lessons on flyfishing. <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">
 
a UV filter, which screws on in front of the lens. It rotates and you can really block out much of the reflection on water and such. They are pretty inexpensive too.
There are magnifiers you can screw on too and you can get som egreat macros. I had a C3030 and I thought it was a great camera.
 
I forgot i had an adaptor WITH a uv filter. <img src="/metal/html/blush.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":redface">
I had no idea there were magnifying lenses too though, i will definetly look into those! thanks.
 
You might need an extension tube but the camera store can tell you. For a hundred bucks you can get a Macro Lens too. I use my magnifiers and also the Macro lens at the same time and it does a great job.
I use shutter priority, so I can crank up the shutter speed a bit. This stops some of the blur you can get from movement. I also use a fill flash of all of my macros.
I use manual focus. I take it in as close as I can and then move the camera in and out to get the best focus.
There are lots of things you can do and I am still learning
