So, it probably comes as no surprise that one of my "loves" to photograph is my daughter. That being said, here are my first two attempts at this challenge. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

1. Affection

    Not easy to capture something like this with a macro lens. The flatter the subject the better really. Something like a coin.
    Having said all of that, I love shooting close ups of eyes too. I love how soft and gentle the focus looks.

    Thanks MrsCuethumb.gif It did take me several tries to get the focus the way I wanted it, but I'm pretty happy with it!
