Default First True Macro
Hi I'm new to the forum. This is a great place. I just got a macro lens (Pentax 100mm f/2.8)
Here is one of my first shots with it.

Let me know what you think.

Nice. Welcome to the site, although this particular forum can be a little slow. You will enjoy your macro lens. Post some more pho tos soon.

Welcome,
That is an OK first try.
When going macro keep an eye on sharp focus, DoF and composition.
Keep them coming!

Welcome to DPS
Great photo. Right hand corner a touch out of focus and drops need to be sharper but this is a great start. Thanks for sharing.
