Default Flower - My first Post
Elo merry people of DPS.

I have recently bought a Sony A230 and trying to learn as much as I can and this seems to be the right place!

Here is one of my attempt at Macro photography... Please advise what is good / bad... what could be improved...

Thanks!

Frailty

Exposure: 1/60s at f/5.6
ISO: 400
Focal Length: 55mm

Nice shot, the center of the flower is nice and sharp and the dew is nice and DoF is good. The only comment I would make is don't have your subject right in the center of the pic, in some instances this works well but I don't think so in this case. Nice pic.

Nice and crisp. I'd process it up a little to increase brightness, saturation and contrast, it's a little flat atm.
