another GSCFC shot, an excellent example to the fact that the photographer makes the photo , not the camera or the lens ..

Excellent shot BE, its nice and sharp and good DOF, but the dragonfly looks to centred in the pic, I would try and crop the top 1/4 off, but maybe its just me.

as others have said DOF and blurred background are just right. Hidden Forms makes a valid criticism -maybe a bit too much empty space above subject

Well, I loved the Tamron because it had Macro capability. But I was really impressed when I put the Canon glass on. My next item on the list is one you already have, the Canon 100 Macro, by the way, how do you like yours? Oh and also, Thanks very much for the comments you posted in my Gallery, Yours is impressive as well.:D :D :D :D :D
