I just got a Canon 180mm macro & these are my first attempts with it.

These are shots of what becomes of Hydrangea blossoms at the end of the season.

Good shots and interesting series.
All the shots look a bit centered - look up rule of thirds.

You're right Brian. I really wasn't considering that when shooting these. Ordinarily I am very aware of it. Guess I was concentrating too much on the subject and not enough on the comp. Thanks for the advice.
