Here is my latest macro attempt. This was done at a local nursery Sunday afternoon while my wife was picking up some flowers. Hand held with the D70 and 105mm at 1/90 with an aperture of f22. First is a crop from the second version, which is the best presentation?

I prefer the close-up macro (is that redundant?). Nice work, looks like you're having fun with that new lens.

Nice job Old Timer - I like what you're getting out of your new D70 (insert jealous icon here). The color is brilliant and the detail is nice. I too like the cropped version better.

Is that what we southerners refer to as a "stinkbug"?

even the full version--- good comp, beautiful color (just enough saturation) and great catch...

add a smidge of unsharp mask maybe ???? personal taste I think---well done
