rev50 fly and some misc stuff

[headster]

Hello everybody,

I'm quite new to this whole macro thing but find it so fascinating, that I'm constantly looking for all the info I can find. On this board (and on the FM forums) there's an overwhelming amount of great info for which I wanted to say thanks. I'd also like to post a few of my meagre first efforts in order to get some constructive criticism.

Here's my first usable effort with a reversed 50 on my 100 macro, some eye detail of a fly in my kitchen:

And what I believe to be a hover fly:

As I said: any comments are most welcome and I hope to learn and improve...

Nice series, especially like the last image of the flower, lighting is very nice.

Thanks for the kind words! Today I got my 430EX, so hopefully my lighting will improve a bit.

All of them are very nice. #5 really stands out as special.

Very good shots. I specially like the first one. I'm always partial to the close-ups of the heads which show the eye segments.
