James,
I presume you're talking about these photographs. I like them all just because they are all the best macro shots I have ever taken.(all, this week - the good ones and the bad ones)
I was thrilled that they were basically focused and sharp, something I haven't accomplished shooting macro until these. Seems to me, that other than purchasing the equipment, this would be the required, first stepping stone down the long path into photography with many more stones yet to be laid. But I will start putting more emphasis and thought on artistic impression through composition soon.
Hey, in your previous reply, you were referring to the light being harsh in the photo of the first flower? Looked pretty good to me. If so, give me your thoughts please. Just wandering if you meant the second, yellow flower.
Thanks for your comments and advice, Dean
