Hopefully in another half a year I will improve more upon what I can do now.

Words of encouragement to the newbies in macro: Dun be shy to post up. Most common excuse I have heard is "I will post when I am good enough". Wrong! The "good enough" may not happen if you are a newbie closet shooter with no one to point out what can be improved.

Thanks bro. The credit goes to those who showered lots of advise in the earlier times.

Same here too bro. When I first started out, I was pretty lousy and that's being kind to myself...

Now I guess I've hit at least the minimum standard most of the time...
