It arrived today and only had a few minutes to play. Next, I'll dive into LordV's tutorials. I also need to clean my sensor. Macro REALLY highlights all the crud!

Congratulations on the new lens
Your off to a fine start, this shot is really sharp.
Your not wrong about being able to see all the crud if you don't clean your sensor before you start doing Macro shots.

It's amazing what shows up on your sensor isn't it

Bet we see some really cool shots in the very near future from you

Thanks to all.

It's a purple prickly pear cactus. I tried to get some images of the yellow flowers, but the full sun just washed everything out. I found the flower buds more interesting (and easier to work with.)
