(This is my first post, so I encourage you to berate me for making mistakes; knowledge gained from embarrassment beats ignorant bliss any day.)
Macro (close-up) photography is the niche I've found. The links below lead to photographs of flowers taken around my neighborhood in coastal Massachusetts by a Nikon Coolpix 4500 digital camera, mostly in manual mode.
The thumbnail is a 
daffodil.
An ant drinking dandelion wine, so to speak.
The zaftig blossoms of a pea plant growing by the sea.
A poppy has learned the subtle art of mutually beneficial trickery.
Chicory, viewed beneath a camera's lens, seethes with pollen.
Sorry about the poetic descriptions -- I couldn't resist.

great shots! the daffodil didn't need a close-up thumbnail. But, I actually like the way it's cropped there better.
I think my allergies kicked up just looking at all the pollen.

Great stuff you've got there, and no mistakes. Can't wait to see what else you've got to share!
The Nikon series does a great job on macros, doesn't it? I love my 990. Welcome to photographica--and yes, let's see more!

I liked your images and thought the macro was quite good, but see, finally, the inherent flaw in capturing true reds, intense magentas, shades of blues and purples. I have had my Canon G2 about 16 months, but it frustrates me to no end how crappy on some colors it is and I have found no work-around yet.
