This is not a great photo, but it was my first try with the new 100mm 2.8. This macro stuff is a lot harder than I expected, that focus is really hard to get right.

No PP except JPEG conversion, sharpening, and a crop. C&C welcome.

Great shot Bootsie. If that's your first try, then I can't wait to see the next one.

Great first effort.

Be prepared to take up many unusual poses in search of the perfect angle. :D
