Is that a good thing in your eyes? I'm thinking from the rest of your post that it is... <vbg> > If hard pushed to find something that could be improved, I'd say that having > the top left corner empty would not hurt the picture. Hmmm... Maybe. I kind of like it there, but I really don't know. > But that's just > something I'd say when facing a strong lamp and a big guy or two back in > shadows. > > Was this really your first try at macro shots? Pretty much. I had a screwmount home-made extension tube that I took a very few shots with on one of my Spotties about 5 years ago, but no flowers or anything, just coins and stuff. Nothing great or extensive. This is certainly my first try with a "true macro" lens. It's really the only one of about 10 macro shots of that day that I feel somewhat comfortable with. The others I missed the focus. Thanks for your comments, Leon. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
