[icicle]

Ok I finaly got my step down ring yesterday and I wanted to try out my close up filters

Shutter speed 6 sec.
F/25
ISO 400
Focal lenth 80mm

Focus point was the eye.
Only computer correction was auto contrast.
Any thing else I could work on
.

light background is very distracting, I'm not sure how I feel about the foreground either. I think if you made the background park it would do a lot

I agree with Caleb. I find the foreground and background to be distracting and take away from your subject. You did a good job focusing on the eye. The texture in the plants lead me to believe this image was staged with fake plants. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against staging an image, as long as it doesn't look staged. Perhaps a more natural setting with more of the main subject in view would make for a better image.
