the first shot seems more in focus
I like it very much
but not sure which shot you took with the new macro lens

both are very nice

Hi Marie,
Both shots were taken with the Macro - However, I noticed that the second one is indeed out of focus..probably had it on manual - tks

I find both photos rather boring, sorry. I also sometimes forget to check the lens is on auto focus before I take shots - it's always annoying.

It's the new lens testing out session, it's normal we all go through it with new gear. I've shot about 100 pics with my new 17-40...they almost all suck.

That explains why they're not very interesting ;) That lens is fantastic, mine's razor sharp, astoundingly so. My next idea is to capture a shot of my girlfriend's eye, with something interesting reflected in it.
