Post your best Macro shots

[Jayson]

Thanks, it helps alot.....that last picture of the fly is killer!

Thanks Joel! I know it was a lot of rambling, but glad it helped. Macro is fun and I hope you enjoy your new toys as much as I enjoy my old ones!

My daughter and I spent the day yesterday at the Chicago Botanic Gardens. Beautiful place and fun day! We only had time to see about 1/3 of it before we had to catch the train and head back home so we plan to go back again soon!

More photos to come from the day! Since my Sigma 105mm macro is still under the testing period, please point out anything negative in the photos that I may not be noticing. Softness was intentionally added in post to the rose.

I realize that for web sized images sharpness is always great, but these seem superb. I think you have a keeper!

Denise ... the lens looks like it is functioning just fine to me as well.

A few more from the Botanic Gardens. I think you will be seeing shots from here for awhile ...I cannot believe I took so many photos plus I still have to go through the ones my daughter took with a p&s!!

Had a few minutes late this afternoon to wander the edge of the woods behind the house and look for some macro opportunities

I came up with a few images. although there was a slight breeze frustrating my focusing abilities.

The first one is a butterfly on poison ivy with a texture added to the BG. The next is a flower, obviously, but I do not know the species.

I shot this the other day.
