Here's one of my first shots with this lens. Very slight croping and removed a leaf stem on the far right side. I'm loving this macro stuff so far but need lotsa lotsa practice. What do you'll think? Before uploading I could see lots of white pollen all over this little guy... not sure why once uploaded the pollen seems to dissappear... doesn't look nearly as sharp on-line.

    Looks like a lovely shot but I'm afraid I find the watermark too distracting.

    Hi Cindy........ your wasp looks pretty cool to me clap.gif
    The watermark is very distracting makes it hard to see the entire image for what it is, but I guess you have your reasons for doing it.

    Wasp's have faces that just scream "MISSION IN PROGRESS"
    Almost Alien like ...... nicely done Cindy .... Skippy (Australia)

    Thanks everyone for the compliments. I'm my worst critque :):

    Playing around with the watermark options unfortunatly I'm not coming up with any 'works for all photos' marks yet. I have had TONS of the local school kids and their parents ask me since I started watermarking why they couldn't just copy and paste my images anymore so that's why I'm going to continue using them. One kid took one of my beautiful sunset pics and his football pics and printed them from screen capture's... looked awful, just awful... but he was happy as he printed for free (mom and dads ink) They want their cheap free prints back but maybe now the sales will go up... will see.
