LESLIE from norwich, United Kingdom
Its its better --but you really need a dedicated macro lens for these types of images
30 May 2009 6:15am
@LESLIE: yes, i am practicing with an old one till i get a new one
Nina from Haute Loire, France
Yes! You seem to get closer to each other for the best!

@Kasra: thank you
Ken from United States
Yes, better. And nice leaf edge composition... But sometimes it is pure luck for me.

@Ken: i agree, thanks
@Lylou & Roland: thanks
Xavier from Troyes, France
It's not easy to get fine delailed picture of a bug with a 300mm lens, you've got to get a 105mm Macro lens :-) Anyway not so bad work ! I love the greentones too !
30 May 2009 10:35am
@Xavier: thanks, yes it is hard, i am glad you like it, i will try better
Betty from New Jersey, United States
Nice composition with the leaf edge. I agree with the others about the macro lens.
30 May 2009 11:38am
@Betty: yes i agree too, but my money doesn't
@kerfendal: thanks
David from Bath, United Kingdom
Well I'm impressed :D I love the integration of nature's 'design' and man-made design of the lense.

@David: cool comment
Pied Crow from Nairobi, Kenya
I like the saw-toothed edge of the leaf, and the terrific colors. If you don't want to invest in a macro lens, you can try a macro filter, less expensive. You will get better results than this, though not as fab as with a dedicated lens.
30 May 2009 1:02pm
@Pied Crow: yes, those lenses are expensive, right now it is a hobby as soon as i make money i will spend to buy a macro lends
@amirreza: sepas
@Moridi: thanks
@yiannis krikis: thanks
sawsengee from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
impressive colours & composition for a macro but the focus which I believe is the fly, lacks critical sharpness......just a friendly opinion
30 May 2009 3:32pm
@sawsengee: yes it is completely right, i am working on that and asking for help, thanks for the opinion
@Alain Berger - vu@granby: thanks
Andy from United States
It is better but still not quite sharp enough on the bug IMO. Still it has great colors and I like ll the details on the leaf.
30 May 2009 4:01pm
@Andy: yes i need more work, thanks
marc battault from clermont ferrand, France
what I find beautiful in your macro it is this composition, leaves and the beautiful depth of field, it is wonderful that they, Medhi!

Anna.C from LA ROCHELLE, France
sure it's better ! in spite of a lack of sharpness and definition, I like the composition on the edge of the leaf. nice color and light.

@Anna.C: thanks, i am trying, merci
Shahryar from Isfahan, Iran
خیلی باحال شده،مخصوصا از لحاظ رنگ و سایه ولی فوکوست رو ویـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــزه نیست.

@Shahryar: areh daram tamrin mikonam
@Ana Lúcia: obrigada
@dj.tigersprout: thanks
Earnest from Oklahoma, United States
Much better this time but the edge of the leaf is most in focus... believe me, it's not easy but is an improvement.
31 May 2009 12:52am
@Earnest: yes, this is hard, so i keep trying, i hope it gets better. thanks
Steve Rice from Olympia, United States
Good job. In both cases though, the focus is sharpest on the leaves rather than the bugs. Maybe you could increase the DOF by using a smaller aperture. The composition is beautiful.
31 May 2009 1:23am
@Steve Rice: yes thanks for the tip
Lee from Fort Frances Ontario, Canada
Practice makes perfect. I know all too well. You're doing great.

bluechameleon from Vancouver, Canada
Yes, this is better. I like this composition and the focus is sharper too. Nice!
31 May 2009 4:23am
@bluechameleon: thanks
Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
I think you have improved, but, as you know, the fly needs more sharpnes and detail. Did you use a tripod and the automatic shoter of the machine at 10 seconds?, the widest f?
Good luck, my friend.
31 May 2009 4:46am
@Paco Díaz: thanks i hope i get better and better, thank you
Zing from Hamilton, New Zealand

31 May 2009 7:41am
@Zing: yes it is, i am learning macro so keep a look out, i hope i get better
@Anouk: thanks
