I decided to post some of my close up bug photos first...






So let me know what you think

Ashlee Darling girl, WELCOME to DPS!
I really like these shots....the ladybug is in good focus...the composition is lovely.
The dragonfly shot is also well focused with beautiful DOF. You did well to start with these.
Love and Hugs,
Grammy

Miss Ashlee, Welcome to DPS! I now have a third generation friend from your family! These are in excellent focus with marvelous backgrounds and very well done. Now your grandmother has to like your photos, because she's your grandma, but I don't have to, so my comments are strictly from an unbiased, non-patronizing viewpoint and offered strictly on merit. I'm looking forward to seeing your work and your growth as a photographer.

Hi there Miss Ashlee and a warm welcome to DPS. Wow your family has so much talent in this forum and here your are with more excellet pictures to add to the talents. These are two amazing photoraphs with lovely close up detail. I especially love the pink bokeh in the second one. Thank you for sharing your first pictures and I'm sure more and more to come. Have fun

Dave.

Welcome! to you.
All I can say is that it must be in the genes. Excellent first two shots. Someone is going to be proud?

Oh Wow! These are some fantastic shots Ashlee. I especially love the ladybugs as they are some of my faves in the bug world. (Well, as much as you can like bugs) Anyhow, this is a fabulous start! Welcome to DPS. Leona really knew what she was doing when she suggested you join as you show so much talent. Can't wait to see more.
