I have been very unhappy with all of my Macro attempts to date. This one seems netter, but I am curious to see what you guys think of it. This was shot with a Sigma 70-200mm lens and my XSi. Thanks.

Juan

Excellent focus,light and colour. Not sure if the composition might be better if you crop some of the RHS off

Thank you for the kind comments. I will experiment with the cropping some more.

This is my opinion; it looks more like close up than macro. The flower is dead center. I like to see more shallow depth of field
