Critique A garden selection

Really enjoying the nice garden weather

Really nice varied set here #1 needs an exposure boost but is a great find.

Guessing 1/7 is a may fly of some sort due to the mushroom eyes.

#2 is my fav though I have a thing for hovers too.

Agree with #1 definitely looks underexposed (dark). Some of the others do too. You seem to be using a large F number in your shots F16-20. Some may not need quite so much (F8-11 may do). Are you using a flash, if so are you getting light in the right place (angle of flash) - could be why some look dark, either that or the metering got mixed up and put not enough light down?

Like the dangling critter and the last buggle-eyed fly
