The next two seem to have a bit of echo or motion blur on them, The first one (yellow flower) was taken with the 18-55 to see how close I could get

The second one, was with the Sigma 55-200

Both where taken with the Shake reduction on am I expecting too much? or shold I have turned the SR off ?

Comments on all 4 pics welcome

SR off if it's on a tripod. On otherwise, unless you have a very steady hand. Wait for the SR stabilised indication (the hand symbol) in the viewfinder before fully depressing the shutter release button.

Paul,

I like the first one very much.

Suggestion:

If you'd like to try editing, see if you can remove that little out-of-focus branch in the upper left.

I don't have SR, but shots really close or really telephoto need zen-like steadyness. I've trained my heart to stop beating

Yer doin' good!

Ahh, thats where I was going wrong, I took a few shots of the bird and all of them where quite hurried in case it flew away !
