Hi, I'm using sigma's 100-300 with extension tube to shoot the flowers for pics 1.,3. and 4.

50mm with extension tube for pic 2.

Edwin, pix 1 and 3 looks soft, think your DOF is way too shallow at f/1.8

the background isn't really interesting enough to compose the flowers that close to the edge IMHO. square crops might work better.

Kinda feels like a postcard picture, eh...

were you going for such an idea?

Hello...

Actually pic 1 is not sharp at all.So look kind of blur... or DOF shallow....

Pic 3 wise... i not shooting at 1.8,perhaps due to the extension tube.
Normally with extension tube,i will go beyond f8.

yup,u are right. If view with black or dark background u will see that it actually has a white border around it.

Zhen li hai!

I think Edwin confused the lens he used. Not only it is f/1.8 it is also at f=50mm

Oops,sorry guys... Apologise for the super errors i made.
Yah,its shot with 50 f/1.8.

Cos i seldom shoot straight like this for macros.

Yup,hence the DOF so shallow. Thanks Hwchoy and ZAC08 for pointing it out.
