Default Nikon D5000 first pix - image heavy

Here are my first pictures with my new Nikon D5000 Keep in mind I have no clue what I'm doing - I just played around with all the automatic settings. I've got close-up filters on order - these were done with the 18-55mm kit lens that came with the camera. I love the color of the pix!











Now to figure out how to properly use this camera
So what do you think??

The D5000 is one of the three I am trying to choose between. Is there anything you don't like about it? I'm having a hard time deciding (and spending the money ).

Off to a great start!

I have a D-70 and have really learned alot from the many generous people on this board.

Once you learn the settings in Apature priority mode,White balance settings,and EV you'll never shot a bead in auto again!

Reading the manuel helps too!!

I believe Kevan on this board had a great tutorial on ETSY that really gives you all of the tools needed to take great shots
