I've borrowed a Tamron 90mm Di Macro for the weekend and here are a couple of shots. I'd appreciate any advice the more experienced Macro shooters can provide!

Nice shots! #2 is my favorite. I would like to see more of a close up on the middle of the flower though.

Love #2. The stamen being in focus really makes the flower pop. Its like they're shooting out of it!
