Toa Payoh Park Macros

[tchuanye]

Was at the Toa Payoh hub today and had 2hrs to shoot. Went to the park opposite the hub to shoot. First time been there. Walked around and found several types of flowers, and plenty of yellow butts...which I never had the chance to shoot as they were always flying! So mainly took spiders.

Appreciate any critique pls. Thanks!

I like #2. The lighting is very pleasing to me. Composition looks fine though it's right in the center;p
