I have been fascinated by Macro photography for awhile. So, when my Canon 100mm 2.8 Macro lens arrived today at work I could hardly wait to get home. I have never really shot Macro before. Anyway, here are a couple of my first 20 or so shots. Be gentle, but constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks for the encouragement. I was wondering if the Bokeh in the second picture was right. Should if be less uniform and more textured or does it work?

I got mine yesterday as well. A tricky lens at first but am getting used to it.

Love it though!
