Hello!

This is my very first post ever in this or any other photography forum.
I discovered photography a few months ago and it is slowly changing the way I see the world.

So here are a couple of shots from earlier today in my garden.
I'm still figuring out manual focusing while these little creatures move around, and I had no diffusers to tame the mid afternoon sun. Composition will take time to learn...

I know my pictures don't get even close to the level I see in this forum, but I'm hoping your comments and criticism will help me move in the right direction.

Peace

Eduardo

Nicely focused,very nice shots. Those Garlic Chive flowers are a gold mine for bees and flies, spiders, and hoverflies too.
