Thanks for all the kind words and advice.
I do agree that I have to work on lighting and backgrounds (among other technical and compositional issues) to make the pictures better and more commercially viable, especially if I want to dwell in the niches. I don't mind being there, but I do understand that if I want to live in a niche, my work has to really stand out from the rest.
Just as an aside, I don't only photograph nature and wildlife. That's just what I've been doing recently because of various time- and weather-related reasons. It's either been pouring rain or horrendously hot and hazy for the past few weeks, and I also was busy with a big project for a Web design client; so I haven't gotten out much. All of the pictures above were taken right outside my own home.
Thanks again.
