A few shots from todays outing

A couple of random shots - all taken with the D70 kit lens
This first one really stood out in its surroundings and caught my eye - it was in a bushy garden that was heavily shadowed in, except for a thin beam of sun that backlit the flower. This is pretty much straight out of the camera
This little fella was happy to pose for me, although flew the coup when I tried to zoom with my feet at the 70mm end of the kit lens.
An ugly duckling in his younger years ?
Is the blown out white area on his lower neck too much ?
I was shooting in AP mode so I'll blame the camera for not choosing a fast enough shutter speed
And one to make you feel sick, a shot of my car - F22 and zoomed in while exposing @ 1/40 in an attempt to create a motion effect.
C&C welcome as always
