Working with a not so macro lense, but think they turned out pretty good. C & C always welcome

    Hi there Tamplum, they did turn out pretty good :D
    I like the #3rd shot of the branch covered in Lichen.

    Sometimes when your not using a Macro lens you need to back off the closeness a little to keep things in focus.

    Well Done tamplum clap.gif ... Skippy :D

    on the last one, the reeds are fuzzier than I want and my background is still sharp. What do you recommend next time to get the reverse- sharper in front with fuzzier back?

    1. Focus on the reeds and not the brush behind.
    2. Wider f stop.

    I like that cool green color of first two lichens, they look good against the earthy background.
