Hey everyone, after some encouragement to join smugmug/dgrin here I am!
I'm really into macro photography and have a canon 100mm 2.8 lens with a 400d slr body.
Please - any comments much appreciated as it's how one learns.

Here's my first for this thread:

I'll post my best butterfly one later - also for critiquing.

Regards

    Nice shot but think it would have been better with the entire curve of the stem in view ?
    Welcome to the forum BTW :)

    I took a couple with the full curve - I'll post them later. I thought this one looked more 'arty' for want of a better word.
    thanks everyone for your comments and welcome and a special thanks to gus - again, thanks for the encouragement.

    Hi Michelle, well nice to see your not lurking any more clap.gif
    The Canon 100mm 2.8 remains one of my most favourite lenses too.

    Nice and sharp image, lovely colours, and I like your background too.
    Now you have to make sure you keep posting or Gus will be on your back hahahaha rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks for sharing Michelle, and please do post your Butterfly shots,
    we'd love to see them thumb.gif ... Skippy :D
