IN order to help you more, we do need more information. perhaps some more info on your photo. What is that you like or dont like? Is there anything in particular you'd want help with?

I don't really have a like or don't like about this photo. I bought a Raynox recently and I am new to macro photography. I am still at learning stage and wish to improve. I chose this photo because out of a few dozens that I had taken, this is the sharpest and free from obstructive background or foreground.

Thanks. A Raynox doesn't cost much. Good to start with if you don't wanna spend more on a macro lens.
