Please critique
The first picture is over exposed and seems out of focus
Pic 2 is good. I would rather see the front of the bird
Pic 3 white areas blown out ( same as pic 1 )
Pic 4 colour and focus good.
You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.

Plus #4 the background is also blown,you need to shoot with -ec.There is a -+ button on your camera sometimes close to the shutter button... hold it down and try one wheels to set it...go into the -[minus] and set it.You need to experiment to see what various brightness of 'whites' will need to get a good exposure.

And
This was not an optimal day for photography; the light is too harsh.
The 2nd one looks a bit over-cooked to me, like the greens/yellows have been oversatureted. I could be wrong.
On #4 the color and focus are better, but I"m not sure the composition works. More emphasis/zoom on the leaves, and they should be interesting.

I'm not sure with #1 and #3 if there was some shutter or movement blur along with the exposure needing to be adjusted for the amount of light in the scene. I think it takes time learning about exposure to be able to get the shutter speed and aperture set to give you a nice sharp image.
Agreed.
First,
, we are generally a nice group.I also agree with everyone above.
1. is blown out and the colors don't hold the detail they should. Lovely composition though.
2. has quite a bit of yellow and feels over-cooked (too much manipulation)
3. seems to have the slightest bit of movement and feels a tad too yellow on the rock. Another lovely composition.
4. this has the strongest focus of the grouping, nice and clean. However it is also over cooked. There are a few spots, in the background, where you can see the leaves have an unnatural pattern to them.
Critique aside, you did a really great job for the third time out with your camera. The only way to get better is to practice and keep submitting images. Which can sometimes be less than enjoyable, but I know from my personal experience learning what doesn't work is just as important as learning what does.
