I would suggest maybe cranking up the ISO a bit, this will give you a little more room with the shutter speed and hence give you a slightly crisper image. Other than that I think they look pretty good, especially liking the lizard shot.
How close can you get to a subject with the 300mm? Ed.
I agree, there seems to be a bit of camera shake. The flower one is nice.

#1 - Not sharp enough. Not sure what the EXIF data reads but the image is too soft, probably from camera shake.
#2 - While the image shows some sharpness in the body (could be a tad sharper, again camera shake?), the beak looks a tad soft. Probably too shallow DOF, try cranking reducing the aperture by a few stops. #3 - Not sharp enough. #4 - A tad sharp, nice composition #5 - Very sharp, think a member in Melbourne had a photo like this with the 18-70DX.

Thanks for the replies.
I figured I would get crucified for the lack of sharpness 
I don't have the steadiest hands. But I will be acquiring a 70-200VR soon. Good point on bumbing up the ISO to speed up the shutter. At the time I didn't think I would need it as it was bright and on the LCD the pics looked alright.
Yep, sharpness yada yada in the first few, but the lizard shot's a bewdie and the colour in that water lily(?) is so vivid, looks great! Including the bug
 Be tempted to clone out the stuff surrounding the flower, just leaving the green leaf in the b/l corner, just to keep attention on the flower... Looks great with that colour tho!
Cheers. Aka Andrew
G'day,
Sorry mate, by cloning I meant copying from a source location (another black area) over the target (where the faint distractign bits are) in Post Processing, like PhotoShop, PaintShopPro etc... Aka Andrew
