    Hey there ShepsMom, you don't suck at all, the more you use that lens the better you'll get, there is such a fine line between in focus and out of focus with Macro.

    The tighter the shot, especially hand holding the harder it is to do.

    You are sooooooo getting there you really are clap.gifclap.gif

    Actually #4 and #6 look pretty good!

    Remember: Just because it's a macro you can't ignore the basic rules of composition -they still apply. Watch the foreground and background, don't center the subject, and use the rule of thirds. The difference between an average shot and a great one always comes down to composition...

    I agree with you 100% It was a spurt of the moment, i just felt like getting wet Laughing.gif. I'll try to follow all the rules next time. Thank you for your input! thumb.gif
