[epia]

Hi, trying out some super macro shots on a mandarin oranges.. appreciate all comments

CAPTION: My luscious model at work... Taken with wooden box made of ice-cream stick in my scrap-material "studio".

out of focus :nono:
colour balance is inconsistent.

as for composition, only the first and last works for me

Ok, will take note of focus next time. Btw, I was using Manual Focus.. and use a measuring tape (used to tailor cloth) to meansure the tip of the orange to the closest-to-orange lens. Is it correct?

Colour balance is purposely off, cause they ain't meant to be series. Just wanted to play with colours to create different mood

I only like pix 1, apart from the focusing and lighting.

the #1 is nice, but just that the lightning and out of focus.. #4 is nice also, i think too bright..

Since it is a nice picture why don't you reshoot it and it will be a keeper.
Don't forget to post the picture, looking forward.
