1) I feel a tinge of flash would have made a catchlight in the eye. That would have added some life to the shot. The eye is getting lost somehow.

2) Like the composition here & the good smooth background. You can crop this from both the sides to make it more tight & strong.

3) Good details & great timing of the click. Really nice.

4) This is not bad either but I prefer the 3rd one above.

Nice varied set Srini with some delightful details!

#2 is an ant-lion; not the desert dwelling beast, but the winged form of the ant
#3 is a crab spider..masters of stealth. Often hang around camouflaged in the flowers waiting to prey on unsuspecting insects coming in for a sip of sugar
