My First Shot @ Macro

Well I got my Kenko tubes in and am having a blast. I ran out this morning and took a few photographs of just about any and everything I thought might be interesting. This photo is of a very small bud on a plant next to my driveway. Just looking at it normally it seems a bland brown color and to my amazement when I put the picture up on my 61" plasma...HOLY MACRO is right...I love the colors. So in my photo frenzy I zoomed in on my son's face and got a few pics there and decided to combine them for this. I'm not happy with the transition from the eye to the bud but I'm working on a better one and will hopefully find one I like.
C&C welcome!

    I think it's lovely the way it is. I really like the creativeness of your son's eye in the composite.

    Peace, gail
