Something of a macro shot using my lensbaby + macro kit. C&C please. Oh, and this is using the double glass optic with the f8 app ring with some off camera flash if anyone's interested.

Nicely done.

Very nice!

Since it is a photo critique thread...hmmm...I would like to see a little more on the bottom where the end of the petal is cut off. super minor picky but I gotta say something constructive.

Hmm.

Has potential, but somehow it seems not technically well executed. I realize that the macro's DOF is shallow and that can work in one's favor sometimes, but everything being blurry in the bottom half of the photo simple doesn't behoove the photo in my opinion. Also seems cut off on the left side. Sometimes you must cut somewhere, but choosing where is an art... I'm still learning myself. Anyway,
