Hello everyone...I'm new here and just getting ramped up on macro. Here are a few shots from the weekend, mostly from Meadowlark Gardens in Vienna, VA. C&C welcome...

Thanks for looking!

#5 is terrific! I love the color, and the lines and water droplets just draw you all...the...way...in!

For #4 and #7, I'm not seeing a central point of focus. Both look a little soft overall.

Thanks for the feedback! I agree that #4 and #7 are not the strongest...I was going a little abstract (especially in #4) and I guess I liked the lines. But without a distinct focal point I see now that neither are really successful. Will have to keep working on that!

Yup, #5 is my favorite as well.
So what's the gear?

Ring light.
I need to look into that.
