I like the crop... Increase the color saturation??? Nice Bokeh...

it was literally my first day shooting with a macro lens and i was going for the limited depth of field like all macro shots have, but i didnt realize you already get that for the most part anyway regardless of your F-stop. ive started shooting most of my macros at around f/8 now so that i can get everything in focus. I'd always pretty much just shot wide open or a stop or two down, depending on light, for most of my other stuff (non-macro). as far as saturation, i just did an auto-curves on it and was done.
everyone always talks about how nice the bokeh is with this lens. i went with the tokina 100mm macro instead of the canon and have been more than happy with it so far.
as always, thanks for the input.
