Default New Macro Lens

I just got a new piece of glass. (that's what the pros call a lens..LOL) Nikon AF60 Micro Nikkor F/2.80. After seeing all the fantastic macro shots in dps I had to get one. I have no idea how to use it but spent the better part of the weekend just clicking away. If anyone has any advice for me or knows of good sites to go to I would really appreciate it. I found out one thing and that is it is great for close up portraits. Anyway below are a few of the ones I liked. This lens is going to open up a whole new area for me and I am looking forward to it.

Looks like you're having fun! I love the first, the way it puts the emphasis on her eyes and that little bit of light glinting off her hair. And also the third -- the shape of the flower is very appealing. Thanks for sharing these.
