Composition in Macro Shots

[ericmusicman]

Hi guys, newbie here. Need your critique with my macro shot. I know it pretty much violates the rule of thirds but I think it looks ok. What do I need to improve or remember when taking macro shots? Thanks in advance!

Very cool.. I don't recall ever seeing a macro with a bright blue sky in the background.

Cool shot man, makes the flower seem big, but you know the thing where you "can raed tihs txet bcauese yuor mnid is fnuny?"


Anyways I read your forum handle as ecircumcision.

Haha! That is funny! I wonder how could someone get circumcised over the net? That'd be cool. hehe!

it is a very cool shot....but...to my eye you've given up a sharp focus on the subject ( flower ) to achieve a better focus on the clouds. the flower seems a little blurry or possibly oversaturated. I like the idea though.

Yeah I think I oversaturated it. I was using a circular polarizer filter to highlight more of the clouds. I may have over polarized it. I thought the idea was good, just a heck of a pain in the neck to get that angle! Thanks for comment!
