Quite a decent attempt considering this was your first attempt and you used a kit lens to shoot these photos. Some of them have potentials. I'm no expert in macro photography, but here are my 2 cents. You might want to watch where you place your focus point and also your exposures. A few of the photos seem a little underexposed. Some of them are also blurred, so try to use a higher shutter speed and if you own one, you might want to use a speedlight to freeze the motion.

Btw was any post processing done to any of these photos because it doesn't seem so to me? IMHO a little post processing (levels to get better contrast, sharpening, etc.) would not hurt either.

Shoot More... Read more... Lighting and Aperture very important... Which timing did you take these pictures?

Hi, thank guys for the advise...

Yup, there are no processing, except the green leave which i played with the Microsoft picture thingy..

Shutter speed, i dun remember leh...only i know my kit lens only allow F5.6 and so my shutter very slow...hands as steady as i can (some din, so blur blur lor)..

I have got the speedlight at the SBG, but i dun noe how to use Motion speedlight???
