This is pretty much my first macro attempt. Honestly I was just screwing around with the lense at my brother in laws and I got some all right shots I think.

This shot is of a tiny-mini rose. I really turned down the saturation on this picture to give it a different kind of look. What do you think of the saturation level, the sharpness, the bokeh, the DOF, the crop and any other aspect that comes to your mind. I used the on board flash because thats all I have (for now)

Good shot, I like the crop. Did you use flash? [EXIF says no flash] Sometimes, flash will 'wash out' the color, but not in this case. Actually, I might increase the saturation on this.

Did you use a tripod when you took this?

I didn't use a tripod, and i believe I had the flash turned off. I desaturated it intentionally a bit to try for a different effect.

Thanks for the compliment.
