#1, 2 is great

[leejay]

Agree with erizai. Beautiful pics~

[Poo Yang]

Thks guys,

I shot them with help of Gary Fongs Lightsphere (cloud)

imho since you are using a macro lens, you could have went close. i think there is too much empty space in some pic. otherwise photos.

[Poo Yang]

yup, could have but got restriction on space(cant get near), handheld in low light and most of the time cant use tripod. Anyway I will crop for prints later.

Thanks.

#3 is good, may be a tighter crop

[yipdanny]

I personally like #3.

ic, maybe you can try bumping up the ISO to 800 or even 1600 and don worry too much about noise unless you intend to do print of 8R or bigger.

Very nice macro shots.

Nice pics. esp, #5.
For #7, the flower (even though blurred out) at the bottom is kind of distractive in IMHO. Change the position a bit, may avoid that. For macro, as master said, pay attention to the background. Need a simple and clean BG to bring out the subject you want to show.

hi how much you got your 70mm macro for? from where? thanks!

[Poo Yang]
